ORIGIN
When your heart beats, it pumps blood round your body to
give it the energy and oxygen it needs. As the blood
moves, it pushes against the sides of the blood vessels. The
strength of this pushing is your blood pressure. More is the
push , more the pressure on blood vessels, high is the BP
and vice versa.
High blood pressure Or HBP (hypertension)
Hypertension, also referred to as high blood pressure (HBP),
is a condition in which the arteries have persistently
elevated blood pressure. Every time the human heart beats,
it pumps blood to the whole body through the arteries.
The normal level for blood pressure is below 120/80, where
120 represents the systolic measurement (peak pressure in
the arteries) and 80 represents the diastolic measurement
(minimum pressure in the arteries). Blood pressure between
120/80 and 139/89 is called prehypertension (to denote
increased risk of hypertension), and a blood pressure of
140/90 or above is considered hypertension.
Low blood pressure OR LBP (hypotension)
Hypotension is low blood pressure(LBP), especially in
the arteries of the systemic circulation. Blood pressure is the
force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as
the heart pumps out blood.
A low blood pressure reading is having a level that is
90/60mmHg, or lower.
Only one of the numbers has to be lower than it should be
to count as low blood pressure. In other words ,if the top
number is 90 or less (regardless of the bottom number) this
may be low blood pressure and if the bottom number is 60
or less (regardless of the top number) this may be low
blood pressure.
BP SIGNAL…!!!
HBP : It’s REASONS
The exact causes of high blood pressure are not
known, but several factors and conditions may
play a role in its development, including:
Smoking
Being overweight or obese
Lack of physical activity
Too much salt in the diet
Too much alcohol consumption (more than 1 to 2 drinks per day)
Stress
Older age
Genetics
Family history of high blood pressure
Chronic kidney disease
Adrenal and thyroid disorders
LBP : It’s REASONS
The cause of low blood pressure isn't always clear.
It may be associated with the following:
Pregnancy
Hormonal problems such as an underactive thyroid
(hypothyroidism), diabetes, or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
Some over-the-counter medications
Some medicines prescribed for high blood pressure, depression or
Parkinson’s disease
Heart failure
Heart arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms)
Widening, or dilation, of the blood vessels
Heat exhaustion or heat stroke
Liver disease
What Causes a Sudden Drop
in Blood Pressure?
Sudden drops in blood pressure can be life-
threatening. Causes of this type of hypotension
include:
Loss of blood from bleeding
Low body temperature
High body temperature
Heart muscle disease causing heart failure
Sepsis, a severe blood infection
Severe dehydration from vomiting, diarrhea, or fever
A reaction to medication or alcohol
H-BP and it’s threats :
Doctors have long called high blood pressure “the silent killer”
because a person can have high blood pressure and never have
any symptoms. If left untreated, high blood pressure can lead to
life-threatening medical problems such as stroke, heart attack or
kidney failure.
High blood pressure is one of the most common causes of stroke
because it puts unnecessary stress on blood vessel walls, causing
them to thicken and deteriorate, which can eventually lead to a
stroke. It can also speed up several common forms of heart
disease.
When blood vessel walls thicken with increased blood pressure,
may break off of artery walls and block a brain artery. In other
instances, the increased stress can weaken blood vessel walls, leading to a vessel breakage and a brain haemorrhage.
L-BP and it’s threats :
Low blood pressure(LBP) is generally not a problem for your health.
In fact, it provides protection against heart and kidney diseases as
well as conditions related to high blood pressure such as heart attacks
and strokes.
Low blood pressure is fine as long as it’s not excessively low so that you
feel the symptoms, in which case there may be a risk of damage to
your organs.
People who have so-called poor circulation symptoms (e.g. cold
fingers and toes) probably have low blood pressure since it indicates
that pressure is insufficient to send enough blood to distant parts of
your body. However, these “poor circulation symptoms” are very
common and you shouldn’t worry about them at all.
You should consult a doctor if you suffer from dizziness, fainting, serious
dehydration (thirst) and excessively pale skin or fatigue.
HOW TO PREVENT HBP…???
Exercising 30 to 60 minutes a day can help bring down your blood pressure numbers
by 4 to 9 mmHg
DASH Diet : The DASH diet consists of eating fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts,
low-fat dairy, lean meats, and fish. Eliminate foods high in saturated fats, trans fats,
and cholesterol, such as processed foods, whole milk dairy products, fatty meats,
and fried food.
If you have high blood pressure, keeping your sodium intake to a minimum is vital.
limiting your sodium intake to less than 1,500 mg of sodium a day. That’s a little over
half a teaspoon.
Weight and blood pressure go hand in hand. The extra fat around your waist, called
visceral fat, is troublesome because the fat tends to surround organs in the
abdomen, which can lead to high blood pressure.
Asian men are at risk if their waist measurement is greater than 36 inches (91 cm).
Asian women are at risk if their waist measurement is greater than 32 inches (81 cm).
People with high blood pressure who smoke are at greater risk for developing
dangerously high blood pressure by taking alcohol , fagging or even from stress.
Lastly, refer to a doctor and be under medical supervision .
HOW TO PREVENT LBP…???
Eat a diet higher in salt.
Drink lots of non-alcoholic fluids
Limit alcoholic beverages.
Get regular exercise to promote blood flow.
Be careful when rising from lying down or sitting. Before standing up, rotate
your feet and ankles a few times. This exercise will help you to improve
circulation. Then proceed slowly. When getting out of bed, sit upright on
the edge of the bed for a few minutes before standing.
Avoid prolonged exposure to hot water, such as hot showers and spas.
If you get dizzy, sit down. It may be helpful to keep a chair or stool in the
shower in case you need to sit; to help prevent injury, use a nonslip chair
or stool designed for use in showers and bath tubs.
To avoid problems with low blood pressure and lessen episodes of dizziness
after meals, try eating smaller, more frequent meals. Cut back on
carbohydrates. Take rest after eating . Avoid taking drugs to lower blood
pressure before meals.
SASTA – SUNDAR KE PITAARE SE…
FOR HBP patients:
Garlic capsule once a day can also lower your blood pressure
Mix half onion juice with half honey and drink two tablespoons once a day,
for two weeks
Brown rice ( contains calcium) in diet along with a boiled potato.
Take 30 to 40 grams of curry leaves every day to lower your blood pressure.
Carrots and spinach are good for a lot of things. Extract the juice from a
carrot and a spinach and drink a glass of it twice a day.
Drink a glass of raw beetroot juice every day to help lower blood pressure.
Eat a papaya fruit once a day on an empty stomach to help lower blood
pressure and keep it under control. Do not eat anything for two hours after
you eat the papaya.
Eat one lemon every day or drink lemon juice or lemonade to help lower
blood pressure. Lemon, like vinegar and baking soda, helps cure a lot of
ailments and is a great source of Vitamins.
Grapefruit, like lemons is another great food to eat every day to help lower
blood pressure. Eat one grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice every day to keep
your blood pressure under control.

FOR LBP patients:
Soak 32 small raisins in a ceramic bowl full of water over night.
Chew them one by one first thing in the morning. Chew well and
drink the water also.
