High Blood Pressure Treatment With Herbs And Natural Remedies

What is high blood pressure?
High blood  pressure is a serious condition that may lead to coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, infarction, kidney failure etc.
Blood pressure is the pressure that blood exerts on the arteries. If it rises and stays high for a long time, it can damage the body in many ways.

What is systolic and diastolic pressure?
The pressure in the arteries, while the heart is shrinking and pumps blood into the arteries) is called systolic.

Diastolic pressure is actually the lowest pressure to which arteries are exposed, when the heart relaxes, after the contraction.

Reasons for high systolic or diastolic pressure

• hardening of the arteries, if not treated promptly (atherosclerosis)
• damage to the optic nerve and retina of the eye
• stroke

It is believed that blood pressure between 130/80 and 140/90 is suitable for most people. But, for others pressure 130/80 or higher, means you are in the risk, if:
you already have kidney problems or suffer from diabetes
suffering from cardiovascular diseases, such as infarction, ischemic heart disease or stroke
chronic kidney disease

Diagram – what is normal blood pressure?

Categories	Systolic mm Hg (upper #)		Diastolic mm Hg (lower #)
Normal	less than 120	and	less than 80
Prehypertension	120 – 139	or	80 – 89
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Stage 1	140 – 159	or	90 – 99
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Stage 2	160 or higher	or	100 or higher
Hypertensive Crisis (Emergency care needed)	Higher than 180	or	Higher than 110

This table can be applied to people, who do not suffer from other serious diseases, though.You should know that blood pressure is not constant. It decreases while you sleep ,and rises when awake. 

Blood pressure can rise when you're nervous, excited, hyperactive or during bad weather (when increasing the pressure, magnetic storms, etc.). If you keep a long time the same high levels( in 7-10 days) you are at risk and should visit a doctor.

Probably wondering to which category you belong , if you have  blood  pressure 160 / 80. In this situation you are in stage 2. Accordingly, if you have blood pressure 120/95 then your blood pressure refers to stage 1- hypertension.

When your high blood pressure is with unknown reason, it can be classified as essential hypertension, primary or idiopathic hypertension.

When another condition causes high blood pressure, then it is called secondary hypertension. Some people develop only high systolic blood pressure, which is called isolated systolic hypertension. Many older people have this one. It should not be consolation, because it can cause serious problems.

Reasons for high blood pressure

There is a tendency,  blood pressure to increases with the age.

Naturally, there are diseases that may increase blood pressure much faster, these are - chronic renal failure, thyroid disease, sleep apnea and certain medicines.

Birth control, hormone therapy, and pregnancy may also increase blood pressure. If during menopause see increase in systolic pressure, then contact your doctor !!! You should know the fact that, children under 10 years of age, suffering from high blood pressure, have one more disease (e.g., renal disease), which causes this high blood pressure.

Risk Groups

• Elderly people
• Overweight and obesity
• Sex (before '45 men are more prone to high blood pressure, but after '65 things are changing and women are affected more often. Usually men under the '55 are tend to uncontrolled high blood pressure).
• Excessive use of salt

• Physical inactivity
• Lack of potassium in diet
• Smoking
• Family fate

Signs and symptoms of high blood pressure

Many people have high blood pressure many years before to understand. During this time, high blood pressure can damage heart, blood vessels, kidneys and other body parts. Many people understand this after a stroke.

If a long time suffering from high blood pressure, that can lead to:

heart failure (the heart can not pump enough blood to all organs)

aneurysm (blood vessel formation) - the places where you can form aneurysm are the main artery (which carries blood from the heart to the body), the arteries in the brain and feet, the artery leading to the spleen.

narrowed blood vessels in the kidneys - this can lead to renal failure

rupture of blood vessels in the eye - may lead to changes in vision or blindness

When arteries in different places in the body are reduced (eg aneurysm) it leads to limited or reduced blood flow to the heart, brain, kidneys and legs. This can cause heart attack, stroke or kidney failure.

If your blood pressure is held for a long time within 140/90 , it is considered of high blood pressure.

Attention! When you suffer from diabetes or kidney failure, for high blood pressure is considered 130/80 or higher!
