Signs Of High Blood Pressure
If there is one disorder that acts as a silent killer destroying your body without your knowledge, it is hypertension or High Blood Pressure. Consistently increased levels of the systolic and the diastolic blood pressure levels are the surest signs of High Blood Pressure that may be heading towards Hypertension. The normal levels of these pressure indicators are 120 mmHg for the systolic blood pressure and 80 mmHg for the diastolic blood pressure.
The problem with High Blood Pressure that reaches the level of Hypertension symptoms is that to the naked eye high BP cannot be exactly correlated to Hypertension as elevated blood pressure can occur for an individual for various reasons. In other words just because someone has several high blood pressure readings does not necessarily mean that they can be diagnosed for having hypertension. For this reason, along with many others, the title of silent killer is a most fitting one for Hypertension. The usual method of diagnosis starts with symptoms that are traced backwards to the existence of Hypertensive traits in a person’s behavior. Some of the common ‘symptoms’ related to high blood pressure Hypertension are: Fatigue, Dizziness, Severe Headache, Nausea. Physical symptoms which impact end organs are heart problems, renal attacks, from mild to severe cases of paralytic attacks. When any of these symptoms are found, a physician would still not be able to infer directly that these are hypertension symptoms. These presenting symptoms would then require the doctor to perform a series of tests to arrive at a conclusion that a patient is indeed suffering from hypertension related symptoms. Fortunately, none of these symptoms are incurable. With advances in medical science, doctors have a cure for almost every ailment. In this scenario, what remains a mystery to many of us is the absence of any diagnosis tools which medical professionals do not lack from therefore only they can make an accurate diagnosis of Hypertension. Nevertheless this does not prevent anyone from monitoring their own blood pressure and taking measures to bring it down such as diet and exercise.Start by checking your pressure levels by a blood pressure check instrument. Should you not own a blood pressure monitor you can always buy one or you can find a medical supply store or a Rite Aid store as both provide free Blood Pressure checking equipment. Know that, if your blood pressure levels show a high reading such as 160/100 mmHg once a month with normal readings on all other days, you are not suffering from hypertension. The consistency, and not intermittent high readings point to hypertension. . Many physicians though assume by standard, that people who do a lot of active work have the blood pressure levels on the higher side therefore they do not automatically diagnose the readings as signs of high blood pressure. Simply, High blood pressure hypertension symptoms are simply not as exacting as a few high reading and a few days of symptoms.
