AFTER SUCH A CLEANING OF THE VESSELS, 9 OUT OF 10 DISEASES DISAPPEAR!
🌿 What is blood pressure?
Blood pressure is a measure of the force that puts blood on the walls of the arteries as the heart beats. This force varies throughout the day, depending on physical activity, the effect of some foods, medications you eat, among others.
Blood pressure measurements are expressed as two values, a larger number, called systolic blood pressure, and a smaller number, diastolic blood pressure. The two numbers are usually written, separated by the "/" sign. The unit of measurement for blood pressure is millimeters of mercury (abbreviated mmHg). For example: 120 / 80mmHg.
Normal blood pressure in adults should not exceed 120 / 80mmHg. When this is between 120 / 80mmHg and 140 / 90mmHg the person is said to have “pre-hypertension” or “high normal pressure”. When blood pressure is above 140 / 90mmHg, the person is considered to have high blood pressure.
🌿 Who is at higher risk for high blood pressure?
People who often develop high blood pressure are:
- Over 35 years old.
- People who are overweight.
- Those who do not exercise regularly.
- People with relatives who have suffered from high blood pressure.
- Regular smokers.
If you have one or more of these traits, it is even more important to know your blood pressure values. Your doctor will tell you the steps to follow according to the values he finds.
🌿 How to prevent high blood pressure
In most people, high blood pressure can be prevented by reducing the consumption of salt (sodium) in the daily diet; maintain regular physical activity (three to five times a week, at least two and a half hours); and have the appropriate body weight for everyone.
🌿 Does arterial hypertension generate any specific symptoms?
Sometimes high blood pressure causes symptoms like headaches, shortness of breath, dizziness, chest pain, heart palpitations, and runny nose. However, most hypertensive patients have no symptoms.
🌿 How do you know if you have high blood pressure?
The only way to diagnose hypertension is by measuring your blood pressure. This is done by using various instruments called tensometers. A healthcare professional will do this for you.
If this is between 140 and 160 (first number or systolic pressure) or between 90 and 100 (second number or diastolic pressure), your doctor will probably need a larger number of measurements, for example at home, with automated blood pressure monitor. It allows multiple programming during the day or night. This way, your doctor can make sure your blood pressure is at the right level.
🌿 What lifestyle changes should a person with high blood pressure make?
If hypertension is detected, there are a number of measures that will help lower your blood pressure. These are:
- Use diets aimed at reducing weight in overweight people.
- Reduce the amount of salt (sodium) in the diet.
- Maintain regular physical activity (between 3 and 5 times a week, at least two and a half hours).
- Reduce the amount of alcohol in people with excessive consumption (more than one drink a week in women or two drinks a week in men).
An additional resource with these measures is the use of medications to lower blood pressure. There is a wide range of these medications (known as anti-hypotherapy) and in fact most people with hypertension require taking a combination to control their blood pressure and thus reduce the risk of complications. Your doctor will choose the best drug or drug combination according to your own characteristics.
🌿 Not controlling the disease that can happen to someone with high blood pressure?
Good blood pressure management requires you to take an active part in the process. Follow-up medical consultations will help you resolve doubts and find the best way to achieve your goals with your doctor.
The higher the blood pressure, the greater the risk of damage to the heart and blood vessels of major organs such as the brain and kidneys.
The health consequences of hypertension can be compounded by other factors that increase the chances of a heart attack, stroke, or kidney failure. These include tobacco use, unhealthy diet, harmful alcohol use, physical inactivity and exposure to permanent stress, as well as obesity, high cholesterol, and diabetes mellitus.
