High Blood Pressure

Blood pressure is the force of blood that pushes against the walls of the arteries. When the doctor measures your blood pressure, the results are given in two digits. The first number, called systolic blood pressure, is the pressure caused by your heart contracting and expelling blood. The second number, called diastolic blood pressure, is the pressure when your heart relaxes and fills with blood. Your blood pressure reading is usually listed as the systolic blood pressure number versus the diastolic blood pressure number, such as 138/72. Normal blood pressure for adults is defined as systolic pressure less than 120 and diastolic pressure less than 80. This is indicated as 120/80. High blood pressure is serious because it can lead to major health problems. Make sure you learn what your blood pressure should be. And remember. High blood pressure may not make you sick, but it is serious. Consult a doctor to treat it. You can lower your blood pressure by changing your daily habits and taking medication if necessary. If you are taking high blood pressure medication, certain lifestyle changes can help lower the dose you need. If you are taking medication for high blood pressure and your blood pressure drops, it means that the lifestyle and medication changes are working. If another doctor asks if you have high blood pressure, the answer is "yes, but it is being treated."
