How Harmful Is Isolated Systolic High Blood Pressure For Your Health?
Hypertension can kill anyone and is becoming a killer disease all over the world. I know well because I have suffered the same fate but wizened up before it was too late. As I suffered from the effects of hypertension, I researched and learnt as much as I could about this fatal disease.
If you have blood pressure around--0/90, you will be considered as suffering from high blood pressure. Among them, the higher number is known as systolic pressure. A person is called to be pre-hypertensive if he or she has blood pressure between the ranges of 120/80 to-9/89.
There is a reason that these numbers are very important. It has been since that as we age, our blood pressure increases. Hypertension becomes prevalent among the senior citizens specially those above the age of 65. Some even see their pressure rising as they enter their 50s.
The reason that hypertension is to be avoided because our heart gets strained as blood pressure increases from normal level and which ultimately leads to heart attack.
As blood pressure increases, other viral organs like kidney start to suffer as well.
Let's recap about systolic pressure. Systolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries when blood is being pumped in every beat. Diastolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries when heart is resting. It is the lower number of your blood pressure reading and it usually decreases with age. Whether a person has hypertension or not is judged by systolic pressure and any increase in it is considered as isolated systolic high blood pressure. Then again, to actually know your blood pressure, it is imperative to have both the reading.
A medical practitioner is the best person to judge whether you are suffering from high blood pressure or not.
You may lead an apparent healthy life, but you will never know what this disease will prove to be fatal. The outwards symptoms are so few that it is very east to ignore that you have a problem till it becomes too late. That is why high blood pressure is known as a 'silent disease".
Those that become aware hesitate to go to doctors because they fear that will be put on medication. They fear the side effects that rear head many times due to medication. If you are hesitant about this, talk to your physician beforehand.
But there is no guarantee that you will not be put into medication just because you have concerns against it. The main complain against Western doctors is that they recommend or prescribe medicines in spite of patient's concern regarding it.
Then again, the doctors are also curtailed by the fact that their patients lead a very harmful life. When people fail to give up their habit of smoking, drinking, not exercising enough or eating junk food, the doctors cannot help but prescribe medication as the last resort.
