Reason why you are hypertension or hypotension?

why your blood pressure is in above normal or below normal?

You can have high blood pressure (hypertension) for years without a single symptom. But silence isn't golden. Uncontrolled high blood pressure increases your risk of serious health problems, including heart attack and stroke.

Blood pressure is determined by the amount of blood your heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries. The more blood your heart pumps and the narrower your arteries, the higher your blood pressure.

High blood pressure has many risk factors. Some you can't control.
1. Age. The risk of high blood pressure increases as you get older. Through early middle age, high blood pressure is more common in men. Women are more likely to develop high blood pressure after menopause.

2. Race. High blood pressure is particularly common among blacks

3. Family history. High blood pressure tends to run in families.

Other risk factors for high blood pressure are within your control.

1. Excess weight.
2. Inactivity.
3. Tobacco use.
4. Sodium (Common Salt) intake.
5. Low potassium intake.
6. Excessive alcohol.
7. Stress.

Certain chronic conditions also may increase your risk of high blood pressure, including high cholesterol, diabetes, kidney disease and sleep apnea. Sometimes pregnancy contributes to high blood pressure.-

These shortcomings can be effectively treated and controlled by change in Lifestyle, food habits and some medication, depending on your present heart rates. Please consult a cardiologist and he will advice you after proper evaluation -

Bullsh*t Report It

If "narrowed Arteries" are harder to drive blood round, then why is the total systemic peripheral resistance the same for people with 'normal' and sclerotic arteries? Report It

there are many different reasons why your bp may not be within normal limits. (ie medications, anxiety/stress, metabolic conditions, weight, or other risk factors)
