What is high blood pressure?

High blood  pressure is a serious condition that may lead to coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, infarction, kidney failure etc.
Blood pressure is the pressure that blood exerts on the arteries. If it rises and stays high for a long time, it can damage the body in many ways.

What is systolic and diastolic pressure?

The pressure in the arteries, while the heart is shrinking and pumps blood into the arteries) is called systolic.

Diastolic pressure is actually the lowest pressure to which arteries are exposed, when the heart relaxes, after the contraction.

Reasons for high systolic or diastolic blood pressure

  • hardening of the arteries, if not treated promptly (atherosclerosis)
  • damage to the optic nerve and retina of the eye
  • stroke


It is believed that blood pressure between 130/80 and 140/90 is suitable for most people. But, for others pressure 130/80 or higher, means you are in the risk, if:
you already have kidney problems or suffer from diabetes
suffering from cardiovascular diseases, such as infarction, ischemic heart disease or stroke
chronic kidney disease

Diagram – what is normal blood pressure?

Categories
Systolic
mm Hg (upper #)

Diastolic
mm Hg (lower #)

Normal
less than 120
and
less than 80
Prehypertension
120 – 139
or
80 – 89
High Blood Pressure
(Hypertension) Stage 1

High Blood Pressure
(Hypertension) Stage 2
160 or higher
or
100 or higher
Hypertensive Crisis

This table can be applied to people, who do not suffer from other serious diseases, though.You should know that blood pressure is not constant. It decreases while you sleep ,and rises when awake. 
Blood pressure can rise when you're nervous, excited, hyperactive or during bad weather (when increasing the pressure, magnetic storms, etc.). If you keep a long time the same high levels( in 7-10 days) you are at risk and should visit a doctor.

When your high blood pressure is with unknown reason, it can be classified as essential hypertension, primary or idiopathic hypertension.

When another condition causes high blood pressure, then it is called secondary hypertension. Some people develop only high systolic blood pressure, which is called isolated systolic hypertension. Many older people have this one. It should not be consolation, because it can cause serious problems.

Reasons for high blood pressure

There is a tendency,  blood pressure to increases with the age.

Signs and symptoms of high blood pressure

heart failure (the heart can not pump enough blood to all organs)
aneurysm (blood vessel formation) - the places where you can form aneurysm are the main artery (which carries blood from the heart to the body), the arteries in the brain and feet, the artery leading to the spleen.
narrowed blood vessels in the kidneys - this can lead to renal failure
rupture of blood vessels in the eye - may lead to changes in vision or blindness
