As according to the latest statistics, almost one third of American
adults suffer from this condition. Actually, this is really bad, most
especially because (according to the medical experts) the hypertension
is a very common cardiovascular issue, which actually affects both men
and women. You should definitely actually be very careful, due to the
fact that if you don’t treat it on time, this kind of health condition
can be life-threatening.
You shall as well know that the blood pressure varies every minute. All
of it depends on the the stress level, sleep, posture and physical
activity. To be more specific that that , in the interval between the
beats, the heart actually rests and the blood pressure drops. The
meaning of this is that when your heart beats, the blood pressure rises.
There aremany risk factors for high blood pressure: age, excessive use
of alcohol or drugs of any kind, overweight, race, and high blood
pressure is quite more common in African Americans than white Americans,
because of stress, tobacco use, sedentary lifestyle, chronic vitamin D
and/or potassium deficiency over time, too much salt consumption, other
chronic conditions such as diabetes and kidney disease etc.
What is unfortunate is that, many people all around the world think that
120 over 80 is a normal blood pressure, and that in case your blood
pressure is higher you need to visit your cardiologist immediately. Well
this no longer applies. Only take a look at this chart below mentioned
and see what your blood pressure should be according to your age.
