High blood pressure can be a real problem. But if you follow certain recommendations, you can get rid of it and improve your health. How exactly, read in our material.
Why measure pressure?
The patient needs to know his "working" pressure. In case of any deviations, it is necessary to consult a doctor immediately. Otherwise, it can lead to very unpleasant complications. It is especially important to measure blood pressure in men over 35 years old. You will be unpleasantly surprised if the readings are high, although in reality you may feel quite well.
For many years, people with high blood pressure may not experience any problems. Hypertension is very often called the "silent killer" for this reason. A pressure not higher than 120/80 mm Hg is considered normal. An indicator from 120/80 to 139/89 is called prehypertension. The threshold is considered to be 140/90, but an indicator above 180/110 is already considered a hypertensive crisis, that is, a situation that requires immediate pressure reduction.
In case of high blood pressure, consultation with a cardiologist is required.
