Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the arteries.

Systolic pressure occurs when the heart contracts. Diastolic pressure occurs

when the heart expands. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of

mercury (mmHg). One's natural blood pressure is represented by the

fundamental pressure, which is measured first thing in the morning while one

is still at rest and before eating.

Hypertension, an abnormally high arterial blood pressure, if left unattended,

can cause many health problems including stroke and heart attack.

Hypertension can be controlled by altering lifestyle, avoiding stress, and with

medication under a doctor's supervision.

To prevent hypertension or keep it under control:

Do not smoke

Reduce salt and fat intake

Maintain proper weight

Blood pressure measured at a clinic or doctor's office may cause

apprehension and can produce an elevated reading, 25 to 30 mmHg higher

than that measured at home. Home measurement reduces the effects of

outside influences on blood pressure readings, supplements the doctor's

readings and provides a more accurate, complete blood pressure history.

Standards to assess high

blood

pressure,

regard to age, have been

established by the World

Health Organization (WHO),

as shown in the chart.

An individual's blood pressure

varies greatly on a daily and

seasonal basis. It may vary by

30 to 50 mmHg due to various conditions during the day. In hypertensive

individuals, variations are even more pronounced. Normally, the blood

pressure rises while at work or play and falls to its lowest levels during sleep.

So, do not be overly concerned by the results of one measurement.

Take measurements at the same time every day using the procedure
