High blood pressure is a very common concern. A great number of studies, research, advise etc. is out there especially in light of the serious health consequences if it is not treated.
I too have published a number of articles especially since I too suffered from hypertension. I intend to continue this effort because it is serious but treatable.
Most people are familiar with the standard blood pressure ranges – anything over 140 over 90 is considered hypertension. 120 over 80 up to 139 over 89 is considered pre-hypertension.
Many are not aware though that even if the diastolic reading (bottom number) is low, that a high systolic reading (top number) can also affect health adversely.
Many people are also unaware that a high diastolic reading (bottom number ” measuring blood pressure when the heart is at rest) can also create health problems.
I recently published an article about systolic blood pressure and received follow up questions related to diastolic readings.
A diastolic reading over 90 is normally considered high blood pressure. If the reading is between between 80 and 89, pre-hypertension may be present.
As people age, the diastolic reading will decrease in many cases. A potentially unrealistic idea of healthy blood pressure can then present itself. So, make sure both numbers are taken into consideration to insure a complete understanding of blood pressure is presented.
More than likely, your doctor will want to prescribe medication if high blood pressure is diagnosed. This is not the time to be shy about sharing any concerns you have regarding side effects (including but certainly not limited to extreme muscle pain, internal organ damage, painful headaches, erectile dysfunction, skin rash etc.)
Taking a pill seems the easiest solution to a number of problems for many people. However, it is important to insure that the so called “cure” is not worse than the health problem.
My High Blood Pressure program is very effective. This simple, all natural treatment has amazed me over and over. I encourage you to give this program a try.
