Dangerous Blood Pressure Levels

It is not easy to determine a person's blood pressure level since it fluctuates a lot during the day and varies from an individual to another. Therefore your doctor has to take repeated measurements before it can diagnose you with a dangerous blood pressure level. If one of your measurements indicates a slightly higher than normal blood pressure, a condition called prehypertension, you shouldn’t panic. However, if two or more consecutive tests indicate a dangerous blood pressure level you should seek medical treatment immediately to avoid further complications. Health Problems If you have an abnormally low blood pressure level you might feel dizzy when you stand up quickly, you might even faint. Hypotension can usually be fixed with an appropriate diet that provides not just sufficient calories for the normal body functions, but also the right amounts of vitamins and minerals. Severe forms of hypotension do require medical attention. The body can enter a shock state if the blood pressure level is very low since the vital organs are not supplied with enough oxygen and nutrients by the cardiovascular system. The symptoms of a dangerously low blood pressure level include strong dizziness, a general feeling of weakness, lack of coherence, inability to concentrate, and they can lead to coma or death. Hypertension implies a dangerously high blood pressure level. The heart is under considerable strain and so are the blood vessels, and serious health problems are likely to occur. The complications of high blood pressure are heart attacks, strokes, aneurysms, kidney failure and blindness, conditions that can prove fatal. If you have a dangerous blood pressure level characteristic to hypertension you should seek medical help. Avoiding Hypertension Hypertension is a complex condition caused by several factors that are not always easy to identify, yet each one of us can take steps to avoid a dangerous blood pressure level and its associated consequences. Regular exercise is known to drastically reduce the risk of hypertension and also improves the overall health of the body. If you exercise at least half an hour three times a week your chances of developing hypertension are reduced by 50%. You should also think about a healthy diet to go along you’re your fitness training. Foods which are rich in saturated fats, sodium and sugar are to be avoided, while fresh fruits, leafy green vegetables and beans rich in protein are recommended. Vitamins like the B complex, C, D, E and minerals such as magnesium, calcium, potassium, calcium and niacin have positive effects on the blood pressure level. |
