High Blood Pressure

What is High Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure has two components:

Systolic pressure, the higher number, represents the pressure that the heart must generate to pump blood to the rest of the body.

Diastolic pressure, the lower number, refers to the pressure in the blood vessels between heartbeats

Causes of Hight Blood Pressure
. These causes include the following conditions:

Tumors or other diseases of the adrenal gland
Chronic kidney disease
Hormone abnormalities involving the adrenal glands or pituitary gland
Pregnancy
Use of birth control pills

Symptoms of High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure can cause symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, fatigue and ringing in the ears. However, it often causes no symptoms.

Diagnosis of High Blood Pressure
Because the diagnosis of hypertension depends on blood-pressure readings, careful measurement of blood pressure is essential. You should avoid smoking or drinking caffeine (coffee, tea, cola soft drinks) for at least 30 minutes before you have your blood pressure taken, and you should be seated for at least five minutes before. Two readings should be taken and averaged. Your doctor will diagnose you with hypertension if your blood pressure measures more than 140/90 mmHg on three consecutive visits over several months.
