Some useful information about blood pressure

What is Blood Pressure ?

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood flowing against the walls of the arteries. Arterial blood pressure is constantly changing during the course of the heart’s cycle. The highest pressure in the cycle is called the SYSTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE; the lowest is the DIASTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE. Both pressure readings, the SYSTOLIC and DIASTOLIC, are necessary to enable a doctor to evaluate the status of a patient’s blood pressure.

Many factors such as physical activity, anxiety, or the time of day, can influence

your blood pressure. Blood pressure is typically low in the morning and increases from afternoon to evening. It is lower in the summer and higher in the winter.

Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) and measurements are written with the systolic pressure before the diastolic e.g. A blood pressure written as 140/90, is referred to as 140 over 90 mmHg.

High Blood Pressure

The discovery that you have high blood pressure is more often than not a chance finding. People with high blood pressure usually feel well unless the blood pressure has been high for some time, and complications have occurred. Such complications may effect the heart, brain and other important organs. They may bring on ill health and affect your enjoyment of life. It is because of the complications, rather than the high blood pressure itself, that this condition is taken so seriously today.

High blood pressure is sometimes referred to as raised blood pressure, elevated blood pressure, or hypertension. Most people with this condition require regular long-term drug treatment, usually in the form of tablets. Some can lower their blood pressure sufficiently by other means, such as changing diet and life-style.

People who have high blood pressure, and who also understand their condition, have an advantage. They are more likely to attend for regular check-ups, to cooperate with advised diets and changes in lifestyle, and to take medicines correctly. This immediately leads to better health. It is hoped that, by a better understanding of high blood pressure and how it is treated, you will take an active and informed part in your health care, and so enjoy a better quality of life.
