High Blood Pressure – How does it affect the body?

 

If you have ever found yourself torn about what clothes to wear due to your face heating up while your body remains at a normal temperature or often find yourself dizzy from standing up too quick then you have a blood pressure problem.

The former happens due to a high blood pressure while the latter happens when your blood pressure is below recommended levels. Neither a high nor a low blood pressure is healthy. One must strive to maintain a healthy blood pressure to ensure one does not become frail and weak.

Although the right amount of blood pressure can vary from person to person depending on sex, age, medical history and food habits, the ideal blood pressure for an adult is between 120/80 and 140/90. Anything lower than 120/80 is low pressure and anything beyond 140/90 is high pressure which is a critical sign of hypertension.

There are numerous factors that can become the cause of blood pressure fluctuation in a person. Starting with the very basic reasons - high blood pressure can be directly linked to poor lifestyle choices such as smoking, drinking or drug abuse. Stress is also a major deterrent for high blood pressure. One must learn to adopt healthy mind calming practices like meditation to help tackle this issue. Stress is one of the major causes of heart problems which is caused by the contraction of blood vessels - a major sign of hypertension.
