Health Remedies - Essential Hypertension

Product Categories

Hypertension (high blood pressure), is a medical condition in which the blood pressure is chronically elevated. 90-95% of high blood pressure cases have no identifiable cause. This type of high blood pressure, called essential hypertension or primary hypertension. It tends to develop gradually over many years. Normal blood pressure is below 120/80; blood pressure between 120/80 and 139/89 is called “pre-hypertension”, and a blood pressure of 140/90 or above is considered high blood pressure. The top number is systolic pressure, the pressure in the arteries as the heart contracts and pumps blood into the arteries and the bottom number is diastolic pressure, which represents the pressure in the arteries as the heart relaxes after the contraction.

Most people with high blood pressure have no signs or symptoms, even if blood pressure readings reach dangerously high levels. Few people may have dizzy spells, blurred vision or dull headaches at later stages of high blood pressure. Hence it is desirable to to have a regular check-up, especially after 50 years of age. Uncontrolled hypertension increases the risk of serious health problems, including heart attack, kidney damage and stroke. Hence it can be a "silent killer" if untreated.
