Symptoms of Blood Pressure

One of the most dangerous aspects of high blood pressure is that you may not know that you are suffering from it. In fact, almost a third of hypertensive people do not know it.

  • Insomnia and disturbed sleep

  • 50+ age and genetics

  • Underlying health issues such as heart or kidney problems

Treatment of Hypotension

  • Take salts and fluid juices 

  • Exercise daily 

  • Go for drug therapy as directed by the medical consultant

Risk Factors of Blood Pressure


Old age: The chances for a blood pressure increase with age.

Gender: Before the age of 55, men are more likely to have high blood pressure. Women are exposed to higher blood pressure after menopause.

Race: African Americans are at higher risk for hypertension. With age, our vascular system changes. The arteries become stiffer and the blood pressure increases. 

This also applies to people who have healthy heart habits. The good news is that blood pressure can be controlled for most people.

Preventive Measures of Blood Pressure

There are many changes you can make in your lifestyle to reduce the risk of high blood pressure:

Maintain a healthy weight:

Obesity increases the risk of high blood pressure.

Exercise every day:

Exercise helps in maintaining blood pressure and reducing stress. Set some goals so that you can train safely and train at least 30 minutes a day on most days of the week. Consult your doctor before starting a training plan if you have health problems that are not treated. For more information about exercise and physical activity.

Eating healthy:

A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products can help lower blood pressure.

Reduce salt:

With age, your blood pressure and body become more sensitive to salt (sodium), so you may need to be aware of the amount of salt in your diet.

Drink less alcohol:

Alcohol consumption can affect blood pressure. Men should not take more than two drinks a day, and women should not take more than one day to reduce the risk of high blood pressure.

No smoking:

Smoking increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and other health problems. If you smoke, stop doing it. They are never too old to stop, and the health benefits of quitting can be seen at any age.

Sleep well:

Tell your doctor if you hear that you are snoring or that you sound like you have stopped breathing while you sleep. This may indicate a problem called sleep apnea. The treatment of sleep apnea and restful sleep can help lower blood pressure.


Types of Blood Pressure

There are two types of hypertension.

Primary hypertension: For most adults, there is no obvious cause of hypertension. This type of high pressure, called primary hypertension (hypertension), tends to develop gradually over many years.

Secondary hypertension: Some people have high blood pressure because of a medical problem. This type of hypertension, called secondary hypertension, occurs suddenly and causes higher blood pressure than primary hypertension. Different conditions and medications can lead to secondary hypertension, including:

  • Obstructive sleep apnea

  • Kidney problems

  • adrenal tumors

  • thyroid problems
