Will Isolated Systolic High Blood Pressure Affects Health?
Blood Pressure is understandably a major concern for many people. I personally, battled it and have spent more hours researching and developing treatment for it than I or my wife (who’s really smart by the way) could ever count.
High blood pressure, or hypertension, is usually considered a reading over 140/90. 120/80 to 139/89 is considered pre-hypertension. The top number is called the systolic which is considered high if it is 120 or above.
Two Thirds of people who have blood pressure are in the age range of sixty-five Is this vital? This number is considered to be conservative by some experts. And also most of the people who are the range of age over 50 or older have pre-hypertension.
The heart gets too much strain by high blood pressure if it is left untreated. It can lead to atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. This can lead to heart attack or stroke.
In addition to the heart being affected by high blood pressure, high blood pressure can also lead to kidney disease and even blindness.
The force of the blood through the arteries as the heart beats are measured by the Systolic reading. The force of the blood in the arteries as the heart “rests” is called as diastolic pressure. The diastolic pressure reading need not be high for one to have high blood pressure when the systolic reading is high. This situation is called isolated systolic high blood pressure.
One should keep in mind that as we age, the diastolic reading will fall. But Both numbers are vital for a right diagnosis of high blood pressure. Therefore, it is very vital to know the number of systolic pressure.
You should consult your doctor to know if you have high blood pressure. He or she makes a blood pressure test to let you know.
The reason why High blood pressure and heart disease are called as “silent Killers” is you will not feel any terrible symptoms to have high blood pressure. Mostly by the time a person knows something is incorrect to him, that person is having a heart attack or stroke.
For those of you, who are concerned that your doctor will simply prescribe medicine to lower your blood pressure and you are concerned about the very real and potentially very serious side effects of the medication, express your concerns to your doctor.
This will not make sure that the doctors will stop prescribing. There is some blame on many western doctors. Even though it’s not their fault.
Their concern is that their patients won’t follow through on advice to lose weight, stop smoking, drink alcohol in moderation only, and follow an exercise and breathing program. Who can blame them? It’s hard for many of us, especially older adults with a lifetime of terrible habits to break them.
I can recommend my High Blood Pressure program If you have high blood pressure or you have pre-hypertension. I have got awesome response for my entire natural program that contains exercise for breathing relaxation. The living example is me. I myself healed my blood pressure using this program.
In fact, I have had hundreds of clients who have been on high blood pressure medication (with those nasty side effects) for years. After starting my program, their blood pressure immediately started to lower and in time, they were able to get off the medication altogether.
