Is Isolated Systolic High Blood Pressure Bad?
Blood Pressure is understandably a major concern for many people. I personally, battled it and have spent more hours researching and developing treatment for it than I or my wife (who’s really smart by the way) could ever count.
the reading of Pre -hypertension is considered 120/80 to 139/89. Systolic contain the top number. Usually the reading over 140/90 is considered as High Blood Pressure, or Hypertension. If it is 120 or above then it is considered to be high.
Is this important? Two Thirds of people who have blood pressure are in the age range of sixty-five. This number is considered to be conservative by some experts. And also most of the people who are the range of age over 50 or older have pre-hypertension.
The heart gets too much strain by high blood pressure if it is left untreated. It can lead to atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. This can lead to heart attack or stroke.
Apart from affect the heart, the high blood pressure can also bring Kidney disease and even blindness.
The systolic reading measures the force of the blood through the arteries as the heart beats. The diastolic pressure (force of the blood in the arteries as the heart “rests”) reading need not be high for one to have high blood pressure when the systolic reading is high. This is known as isolated systolic high blood pressure.
Both numbers are important for a correct diagnosis of high blood pressure. One should keep in mind that as we age, the diastolic reading will fall. Therefore, it is very important to know the number of systolic pressure.
Do you want to know about the level of your blood pressure (that is systolic or not)? You should consult your doctor. He or she makes a blood pressure test to let you know.
Keep in mind that you do not have to feel “bad” to have high blood pressure. This is why high blood pressure and heart disease in general is known as the “silent killer.” Oftentimes, by the time a person knows something is wrong, that person is having a heart attack or stroke.
If you are afraid of the dangerous side effects of medication, then you can convey you problem to the physician. This is for the people who worry that your physician will only prescribe medication to reduce your blood pressure.
That’s not to say that your doctor won’t still prescribe medication. This is a complaint about many Western doctors. It’s not necessarily their fault though.
Their problem is that patients will not go through counseling to lose weight, quit smoking, drinking alcohol in moderation, and follow breathing and exercise program. It is particularly hectic for most of us, especially older adults it is always hard to stop the bad habits.
I can recommend my High Blood Pressure program If you have high blood pressure or you have pre-hypertension. I have got awesome response for my entire natural program that contains exercise for breathing relaxation. The living example is me. I myself healed my blood pressure using this program.
I have treated many numbers of clients with serious side effects due to high blood pressure medicines. Once they started to follow my program their blood pressure saw some reduction and was out of medication in shortest time.
