The term hypertension is used when blood pressure readings are above the healthy range for a few weeks or more.
Blood pressure readings include two numbers:
Healthy blood pressure is 120/80, though the healthy range is often adjusted based on someone’s age. If blood pressure readings are consistently 140 over 90, or higher, this puts extra strain on the heart and blood vessels. This increases the risk of a heart attack or stroke. High blood pressure is also linked to kidney problems and some forms of dementia.
High blood pressure usually has no signs or symptoms. The only way to detect it is to have your blood pressure measured. Many different things can affect your blood pressure through the day so a single high reading does not necessarily mean you have high blood pressure. A number of readings are needed to see if your blood pressure stays high over time.
There is no single cause for high blood pressure, instead there are many different factors that can contribute. These include:
Conventional Medicine
Medically high blood pressure is treated with a range of different medications. In addition, research shows diet and lifestyle changes can be very complementary in lowering high blood pressure. 1 2 3 4
