HYPERTENSION

WHAT IS BLOOD PRESSURE ...???

Blood pressure is a blood pressure of arterial blood arteries
During blood circulation caused by heart pulsation

HOW WHERE blood pressure was measured?
Blood pressure usually comes in two sizes and it is measured as the following
120/80 mmHg. The initial number (120) shows the pressure on the arteries
As a result of heart beat is called systolic pressure. Rear Figures (80) shows the gap between the pressure when the heart is pumping diastorik pressure.
The best time to measure blood pressure is when you rest and
In the state of sitting and lying down.

BLOOD PRESSURE CHANGE-FOX
Blood pressure is the same every time, often change with the needs of your body.
If your blood pressure is high, your doctor will check your blood pressure a few times
To determine your blood pressure is really his.

HE IS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE OR HYPERTENSION ..?
High blood pressure or hypertension is a medical condition which was increasing
Blood pressure is chronically (long term). Patients who have
At her three times less blood pressure checks in excess of blood pressure
Optimal is 140/90 mmHg at rest, the estimates have high blood pressure.
Blood pressure is always high is one risk factor for stroke,
Heart attack, heart failure and is a major cause of chronic heart failure.

High blood pressure usually causes no symptoms. You may experience pressure
 High blood pressure and at the same time you feel yourself healthy.
Blood pressure less than 120/80 mmHg is defined as "normal." Hypertension usually
 Happened on blood pressure 140/90 mmHg or above, measured in the arm for at least three
Times within a few weeks.
Along with age, almost everyone has increased blood pressure; pressure
Systolic continue to rise until the age of 80 years and diastolic pressures continue to increase until age 55-60
Years, then decrease slowly or even decreased.

SYMPTOMS OF HIGH BLOOD / HYPERTENSION
In most patients, hypertension causes no symptoms, although deliberately ridak
Some symptoms terjdi simultaneously and reliably associated with high blood pressure (although
Surely not.) Symptoms that the intent is headache, bleeding from the nose, headache, facial
Redness and fatigue, which usually only occurs both in patients with hypertension or at
A person with normal blood pressure.
If hypertension is severe or chronic and are not treated, can develop the following symptoms:
• Headache
• Fatigue
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Shortness of breath
• Restlessness
• blurred vision that occurs because of damage to the brain, eyes, heart, and
Kidney.
Sometimes patients with severe hypertension has decreased consciousness and even coma due to occurrence of
Swelling of the brain. This situation is called hypertensive encephalopathy, which require handling
Immediately.
CAUSES OF HIGH BLOOD / HYPERTENSION
Hypertension based on the cause was divided into 2 types:
1. PRIMARY HYPERTENSION is hypertension who has not known the cause (there are
In approximately 90% of all hypertension).
2. SECONDARY HYPERTENSION is hypertension caused by / as a result of
Other diseases.
fat (obesity), an inactive lifestyle (exercise lazy), stress, alcohol or
Salt in the diet; can trigger the occurrence of hypertension in people who have
Sensitivity of blood pressure increase for a while, if the stress has passed, then
Blood pressure usually returns to normal.
Some causes of secondary hypertension:
1. Kidney disease
2. Hormonal Disorders
3. Drugs
4. Other causes

TREATMENT OF HIGH BLOOD / HYPERTENSION
Hypertension esesial incurable but can be given treatment to prevent
Of liver complications.
His usual first step is to change the pattern of survival;
1. people with hypertension are overweight at the recommended lower
weight to the ideal limit.
2. Changing diet in people with diabetes, obesity or blood cholesterol levels
High. Reduce salt consumption to less than 2.3 grams of sodium or 6 grams
Sodium chloride each day and reduce alcohol.
3. Aerobic exercise is not too heavy.
4. Patients with primary hypertension do not have to limit its activity during blood pressure
Controlled.
5. Stop smoking.

MAKE SURE THE OPTIMAL BLOOD PRESSURE by;
• Check your blood pressure regularly at least 2 times a year or more
Depending on your blood pressure
• No smoking, nicotine in cigarettes can cause heart beat faster
And constrict the small blood vessels causing heart was forced to pump more
Strong to meet the needs of your body
• Reduce salt intake, excessive salt in the blood can cause more
Water is stored and Causes of high blood pressure
• Reduce excessive fat will accumulate around blood vessels and
Make it thick and stiff
• Maintain a healthy weight
• Exercise regularly
• Avoid alcohol consumption

BLOOD PRESSURE CONTROL
- Exercise and maintain normal weight
- Low-fat healthy foods rich in vitamins and minerals of high
- Antihypertensive Drugs
