Hypertension

medically high b.p is known as hypertension which may affects the brain,kidneys, and heart .

The goal of treatment is to lower blood pressure to levels that will prevent heart disease and other complications of hypertension.

It depends. High blood pressure, also referred to as hypertension, affects many people and massage may be of benefit under the right circumstances. First, and the most important thing, is that they get evaluated and cleared for massage by a doctor. If they are on medication, their high blood pressure needs to be under control before they can receive massage.

Basic rule: Where salt is, water will follow. Basic rule #2: An increase in volume, will cause an increase in pressure. So, if you increase the level of salt in your blood from your diet, then you will also cause more water to be retained. This water will increase your total volume in your body which will be picked up by the body. The increase in volume, will also increase the pressure. Through diuresis, your body may able to self regulate itself over a period of a few weeks, where your volume will increase from the heavy salt intake, but then your body will try to excrete that extra salt, causing water to follow the extra salt, thus lowering your salt/vol/pressure levels. In hypertension where the cause is unknown, the body can not naturally regulate the salt/vol/pressure relationship when there is too much salt in the system.. The high salt causes water to be retained, which increases your blood volume, and this increases the blood volume which increases the pressure. So if you have HIGH BP, you must restrict your salt intake to less than 2000-1500mg (ask your doc for what your daily salt limit should be). Avoid frozen dinners, canned foods, cured meats etc...things that have a high salt content.

It is referred to as hypertension.

All commonly available antihypertensive drugs lower systolic blood pressure. Examples are calcium antagonists (such as amlodipine), ACE inhibitors (such as lisinopril) thiazide diuretics (such as chlorthalidone). The latter has been shown to be effective adn affordable in treating Isolated systolic hypertension which is when a person has only the systolic pressure above the threshold level of 140mmHg.

No, Lotrel, a medication used to treat hypertension, is part of the Calcium-Channel Blocker (CCB) class. CCB's allow the heart and blood vessels to relax by preventing calcium from entering the muscles.

Beta-Blockers function differently. They reduce electrical signals from the brain to the body's sympathetic nervous system (including the heart), reducing blood pressure by slowing the heartbeat and causing it to pump less forcefully.

There are warnings on the label stating to check with your doctor if you are on medications for blood pressure. Viagra will cause your blood pressure to go up. So that can be a bad thing if you have angina. See your doctor before taking Viagra!

I have a hiatal hernia and I think that it is causing my high blood pressure. The blood pressure medication doesn't help only makes the pain worse.

Two features of the cirulatory sytem that might produce high blood pressure are heart rate and artery size. If your hert is beating fast, it will push blood rapidly through the arteries, building up blood pressure. If your artery size are small, then the narrow or partly clogged arteries produce high blood pressure. A third option would be artery elasticity. If you artery looses their elasticity and becomes hard, it may also produce high blood pressure as well.

Hope that answers your question!! ;)

Yes, this would be considered high. You really don't want the systolic, or top number to be above 130. When you start getting into the 140's you have hypertension or high blood pressure. The diastolic or bottom number is fine. You don't want that one going over 90.

Have you ever swam in the ocean?? Does it cause high blood pressure? How can a little salt under your arm cause a blood pressure rise. It sounds absurd.

High blood pressure can quietly damage your body for years before symptoms develop. Left uncontrolled, you may wind up with a disability, a poor quality of life or even a fatal heart attack. Fortunately, with treatment and lifestyle changes, you can control your high blood pressure to reduce your risk of life-threatening complications.

it takes a couple of mins or secs it depends

When either the mitral or aortic valve is diseased, the heart's ability to pump blood from inside the left ventricle to the aorta (which brings blood to the rest of the body) is compromised. Blood backlogs into the pulmonary vessels (blood moves from the lungs to the left side of the heart) which increases pressure in the pulmonary vessels, eventually leading to pulmonary hypertension.

Arginine

Because the leading cause to lvh is pathological hypertrophy and theleading cause to that is high blood pressure. when you have high blood pressure your heart beats harder to counteract the pressure, and seeing how many Americans today are either obese or overwieght high blood pressure is in no way rare.

secondary hypertension

Yes it can

For many people there is no specific cause for their high blood pressure. It seems to be just one of those things. However, by leading a healthy lifestyle you reduce your risk of complications from the high blood pressure. If you are also taking medicines to treat your blood pressure then being fit and healthy will help medications work more effectively.

Yes , people CAN faint from high blood pressure as it is very dangerous.

Hypertension is actually also called high blood pressure. There are diets that will help with this. http://www.webmd.com/hypertension-high-blood-pressure/dash-diet

Potassium

narrowing of the pulmonary vessels due to decreased oxygen and increased carbon dioxide
