Why is high blood pressure good for you?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is not beneficial to lower blood pressue unless it is too high. This question is I like asking what kind of fish live in the ocean. It requires a professional analysis to fully consider your circumstances because a general answer could fill books. Actually it does fill books. Blood pressure is like tire pressure. There is an optimal operating range. Too low or too high is a problem. I do know for a fact if your blood pressure is low enough to go to zero, that is really bad and mostly likely the next time your blood pressure will raise is when your blood is being forced out with embalming fluid.

Is it fitting to do exercise when you have high BP?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Mild exercise, i.e. walking, has benefits for people suffering high blood pressure. Research has shown that walking several times a week for at least half an hour can help lower high blood pressure. It is best to avoid continued strenuous exercise, however - high BP causes greater strain on the arteries, and in strenuous exercise, one is making one's heart work harder. If you are aiming for more strenuous exercise, be sure to work up to it slowly. Take it easy at first, and after a while you will be able to do fairly strenuous workouts. However, it is important to check with your doctor for some guidelines.

The systolic pressure is the pressure at its highest. You determine this by cutting off the circulation with a blood pressure cuff and slowly dropping the pressure in the cuff until you hear the first sounds of blood rushing through the arteries. That point is the systolic pressure.

What causes hypertension?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The vast majority of cases are unknown, this is known as "essential hypertension". High blood pressure can be made worse by stress and emotional tension. There are many other causes, including kidney causes (intrinsic disease vs vascular), hormonal (such as cushing's syndrome, a phaechromocytoma (adrenaline producing tumour), conn's syndrome, acromegaly and high parathyroid hormone levels). Other causes include pregnancy, coarctation of the aorta, and medicines given to you, such as steroids, certain antidepressants (MAOIs) and even the oral contraceptive pill can raise your BP.

If you're worried, it's best to go see your GP/Family Doctor.

There are many potential causes of hypertension. As people age, they will often develop hypertension naturally. Unhealthy lifestyles can also cause hypertension. Alcohol abuse, lack of exercise, high sodium intake, and obesity are risk factors for hypertension. People who are under a large amount of stress often develop hypertension. Finally, not ingesting enough calcium, potassium, or magnesium can also cause hypertension.

What is high blood pressure also called?

Asked by Wiki User

Abnormally high blood pressure is called "Hypertension" (Hyper-= above, over, or excess; Tension= to strain or stretch)

In essence blood pressure is the force(stretch or strain) on the blood vessels' walls. Thus abnormally high blood pressure would be an excess strain on the vessels' walls.

Is high blood pressure caused by stress and tension?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

An increase in blood pressure is a response to stress. The nervous system engages in the 'fight or flight' response when a person is under stress, anything from a bear attack to your boss yelling at you. Blood pressure is increased in two ways: First, blood vessels constrict as a response to an increase in epinephrine, and as a way to increase blood flow to the muscles. Second, the heart pumps faster, in order to increase blood flow to the brain and muscles, thus increasing alertness and muscular readiness.

Hypertension is sometimes brought on over time by several factors, such as sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, genetics, and living a high stress life (like many of us do!) Being under constant stress essentially 'trains' your body to remain at this state of hypertension even when there is no acute stress.

Yoga, exercise, improved diet, and sometimes bp meds can all help to control hypertension. Not treating hypertension can lead to several nasty outcomes:

* stroke * heart attack * kidney failure

If you or one of your loved ones has untreated hypertension, get them to the doctor.

Can a stroke cause alzheimers?

Asked by Wiki User

There is no evidence that one causes the other. The fact that victims of Alzheimer's, a form of dementia, die of any other disease, malady, etc, such as a heart attack or stroke, is attributable only to the overal degeneration of the brain and body; in other words, it is a coincidence.
