ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

What is blood pressure?
Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the arteries.
The Systolic pressure occurs when the heart contracts. The Diastolic pressure
occurs when the heart expands and refills. Blood pressure is measured in
millimeters of mercury (mmHg). One's natural blood pressure is represented
by the fundamental pressure, which is measured first thing in the morning
while one is still at rest and before eating.
What is hypertension and how is it controlled?
Hypertension, an abnormal high arterial blood pressure, if left unattended,
can cause many health problems including a stroke and a heart attack.
Hypertension can be controlled by altering your lifestyle, avoiding stress
and with medication under a doctor's supervision. To prevent hypertension
or keep it under control: Do not smoke, exercise regularly, reduce salt and
fat intake, have regular physical checkups and maintain a proper weight
and control this.
