How to reduce high blood pressure
When the heart contracts and forces blood into the arteries it creates a pressure called 'blood pressure'. Every living person has a blood pressure, and it is this pressure that allows the blood to circulate around the body. Blood pressure varies throughout the day, going up during times of activity and going down when you are relaxed. Hypertension is the name given to the condition when the blood pressure is persistently high. The high pressure puts an excess strain on the heart, blood vessels, kidneys and other organs and increases the risk of developing heart attacks, strokes and kidney damage.
Symptoms
Usually the only way to know if you have high blood pressure is to have it measured. Most people cannot tell if their blood pressure is high any other way. It is recommended that all adults should have their blood pressure measured at least every 5 years. Those with high normal values or with other risk factors such as diabetes or smoking should be measured at least annually.
