High Blood Pressure Defined

Meaning of High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is rise during pressure enforced by flowing blood on the artery walls as a normal response to stress & normal movement. But, if this pressure continues to be steadily high (high blood pressure as it is named), it can exhaust your heart and arteries. Hypertension causes arterial disease, heart attacks and strokes.
Blood Pressure Reading
Your blood pressure is examined in two values, the systolic, where blood exert pressure when it comes into aorta from the heart and the second is diastolic, where blood put prssure when the heart ventricles take rest between beats. Medical practitioners read it in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg).
High Blood Pressure is defined in a grown-up as the blood pressure above or equal to 140 mm Hg systolic pressure, or greater than or equable to 90 mm Hg diastolic pressure. But, a blood pressure reading more than 140/90 indicates hypertension and is treated unnatural at any age.
