Do Not Wait For High Blood Pressure Symptoms To Appear?
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) says about 1 in 3 adults in the U.S. may have high blood pressure (HBP) or hypertension. Many people called HBP the "Silent Killer" because it does not have any known symptoms. When left unchecked, the disease causes damage to the heart, kidneys, blood vessels, and other parts of the body.Blood pressure measures the force of the heartbeat as it moves blood, which contains oxygen, to all parts of the body. As blood flows through arteries and veins, it stretches the tissue that makes, up the walls. We describe this "force" in numerical terms, such as "one-twenty over eighty," "120/80," which measures blood pressure in two ways:As the heart beats and pumps blood through the vessels or systolic blood pressure--top number.The heart when it's in the rest state or diastolic blood pressure--bottom number.According to NHLBI, blood pressure readings of less than 120/80 milliliters of mercury (mmHg) -- for both numbers-- represent a normal reading.Remember, you will not become aware of HBP with signs or symptoms.In rare cases, an individual with HBP may experience a headache, dizziness or nosebleeds. By then, the high blood pressure may have reached a critical stage or become "life-threatening." NHLBI defines high blood pressure as blood pressure readings over 140/90 mmHg.HBP readings between 120139 or 8089, warn of pre-hypertension. Readings of 130/80 mmHg, or higher for individuals who have diabetes or chronic kidney disease, indicate high blood pressure. HBP numbers vary for children and teenagers.Having the proper blood pressure helps you form a solid foundation for maintaining good health. Make it part of your health check routine to "know your blood pressure numbers," even when you feel good and healthy. Take multiple blood pressure readings over a three-day period and calculate your average blood pressure.Persons with pre-hypertension or HBP must work with their health care practitioners and take the steps required to get the disease under control. Individuals with normal blood pressure should work with their health care team to maintain normal blood pressure and healthy lifestyle.

How can one treat severe sleep apnea?
The most common solution to Sleep Apnea is CPAP therapy. CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. This is a machine that produces pressurized air into a hose that is connected to a nasal mask, full face mask, or nasal pillows. A person will wear this mask while they sleep to open up the airway so they will breathe normally through the night. When using Cpap a person with Sleep Apnea can lead a normal, fulfilling life full of energy and without fatigue.
What is normal blood pressure for adult humans?
120/80 is the normal blood pressure for all human beings. It is the ideal state. Your body undergoes different blood pressure reading at different times of the day. In a normal state, your blood pressure has to be 120/80. If it is consistently 130/90 or more, then its better to see a doctor. Typically with our current lifestyle, after the age of 30, your body undergoes a lot of change basically ageing. Its important to keep a check on your BP after the age of 30. Women, typically, have low blood pressure readings when they are of menstruating age. Anything below 100/70 is low blood pressure. If you are feeling weak with low BP then its a cause of concern but typically low blood pressure is ok for a healthy human being. It is a major concern if you are bed ridden and have low BP.
