Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is the amount of pressure exerted by the bloodstream against the artery walls as a result of the heart’s pumping process. It can be divided into two parts: upper pressure and lower pressure and the differences are as follows:
Hypertension
Normal blood pressure should not exceed 130/85 mmHg and blood pressure higher than 130/85 mm Hg is considered abnormal. More than 90% of people with high blood pressure have an undetected cause, but if detected, it is more likely to be caused by other diseases or conditions, such as heredity, kidney disease, and arterial stenosis. It is also caused by behavior or risk factors such as smoking and drinking alcohol, etc.
However, most high blood pressure patients usually have no symptoms at all. Complications in blood pressure can often be detected through annual health checks. Patients with high blood pressure may have pain, numbness in the neck, stiffness in the nape of the neck, dizziness when waking up and some people may have migraine throbbing headaches. If these symptoms occur, you should see a doctor immediately for immediate treatment as there may be a risk of disease that could cause a heart attack, cerebrovascular disease, kidney disease, and eye problems
Maintaining high blood pressure within normal parameters
Blood pressure is a condition that can occur at any age. If your blood pressure is found to be abnormal, you should see your doctor for treatment and continually behave properly in order to prevent further complications.
