High Blood Pressure

High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, can be a tricky
medical issue because it typically goes unnoticed. According to the
Mayo Clinic, the majority of individuals whosuffer from hypertension
have no signs until their blood pressure reaches dangerous levels.
When high blood pressure symptoms do occur, they include headaches,
nosebleeds and dizzy spells.
The Mayo Clinic recommends seeing a doctor before high blood pressure
symptoms occur. The best way to monitor your blood pressure is to have
your doctor track your readings on an annualbasis. Individuals who
havebeen diagnosed with high blood pressure may requirefrequent
screenings. Ideal blood pressure ratings depend on the person's age
and health history. However, a healthy adult typically has a reading
somewhere around 140/90.
There are several options to treat high blood pressure. First and
foremost, taking a look at your lifestyle and adjustingyour habits can
help ward off or control hypertension.Additionally, you doctor may
prescribe a combination of the following medications: thiazide
diluretics (water pills), beta blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme
(ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, rennin inhibitors,
and calcium blockers. In extreme cases, it may also be appropriate to
prescribevasodilators, central-acting agents, alpha-beta blockersor
alpha-blockers to combat hypertension. Lastly, once your hypertension
is under control, your physician mayinstruct you to take an aspirin a
day to reduce your overall risk of cardiovascular disease. Please
note, only your doctor can properly diagnose and treat your high blood
pressure symptoms/
