2. The force produced by circulating blood on the walls of the body's
arteries, or main blood vessels, is known as Blood Pressure.When
blood pressure is excessively high, it is known as Hypertension or
High Blood Pressure.
What is Hypertension?
Blood pressure is expressed as two numbers.When the heart contracts or beats, the first number
represents the pressure of blood flowing in vessels which contains blood.The second number
(diastolic) is the pressure in the arteries while the heart is at rest between beats.
If the systolic blood pressure is 140 mmHg on two different days and the
diastolic blood pressure is 90 mmHg on both days, you probably have
hypertension.

3. Causes of Hypertension
There is no known cause of increased blood pressure in most
individuals. But there are two types of Hypertensions having
different causes.
1. Primary Hypertension
Primary hypertension, also known as essential hypertension, is a kind of high blood pressure that
develops slowly over a long period of time.The majority of people have this type.
Some individuals are prone to hypertension due to their genetic origin.This might be due to
inherited genetic disorders from their parents.Weight issues can be caused by unhealthy lifestyles.
Hypertension can be increased by being overweight or obese.
2. Secondary Hypertension
An underlying condition can create high blood pressure in certain individuals. Secondary hypertension
is a kind of high blood pressure that appears unexpectedly and causes higher blood pressure than
primary hypertension.
It can lead to various conditions including Kidney disease, Heart disease, Sleeping Disorders,Thyroid
problems, certain medications, such as birth control pills, cold remedies, decongestants, over-the-
counter pain relievers and some prescription drugs.

4. Symptoms of Hypertension
Hypertension is usually a hidden condition. Many people will not show any signs or
symptoms. It may take years, if not decades, for the disease to develop to the point when
symptoms are noticeable. Headaches, difficulty breathing, and nosebleeds are common
signs and symptoms of high blood pressure, but they aren't specific and typically don't
appear until the condition has progressed to a severe or life-threatening level.

5. Risk and Complications
High blood pressure conditions in any individual have many
risks and complications. Some major risks factors are -
 Age - As people become older, the chances of having high blood pressure increase.
 Too much consumption of Alcohol - Too much consumption of alcoholic beverages can damage your
heart and may affect blood pressure too.
 Overweight or obesity - Being overweight or obese can increase the risk of high blood pressure.
 Lack of Physical activities in routine - Inactive people have greater heart rates.The harder your heart
has to work with each contraction and the greater the stress on your arteries, the higher your heart rate
is. Obesity is also related to a lack of physical activity.
 Too much Sodium (Salt) consumption - When people consume too much salt in their diet, the body
retains fluid, which boosts your blood pressure.
 ConsumingTobacco and Cigarettes - Smoking or chewing tobacco not only momentarily increases
blood pressure, but the chemicals in tobacco can also damage the lining of your artery walls.This can
restrict the arteries and put people at risk for heart disease. Smoking can potentially raise your risk of
heart disease.

6. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can
cause a variety of problems, which
includes
 High blood pressure can lead to Heart attack or Heart failure - Atherosclerosis (hardening and
thickening of the arteries) caused by high blood pressure can lead to a heart attack, stroke, or other
issues.
 Aneurysm - Aneurysms occur when blood arteries weaken and bulge as a result of high blood pressure.
An aneurysm can leads to death.
 Kidney blood arteries have become weak and diluted.This can lead to kidney failure.
 Blood vessels in the eyes can get thickened, constricted, or torn. It's possible that one person can lose
their vision as a result of this.
 Metabolic Syndrome - Increased waist size, high triglycerides, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol,
high blood pressure, and elevated insulin levels are all symptoms of this syndrome. Diabetes

7. How to control your blood pressure
without medication
A healthy lifestyle is essential in the treatment of high blood pressure. People may be able
to prevent, delay, or decrease the need for medication if people effectively regulate their
blood pressure with a healthy lifestyle.

8. How to control your blood
pressure without medication
1. Regular Exercise
Exercise is one of the most effective ways to reduce high blood pressure. Regular
exercise strengthens and improves the efficiency with which your heart pumps
blood, lowering blood pressure in your arteries.

pressure without medication
2. A Healthy Diet
If you have high blood pressure, eating a diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables,
and low-fat dairy products while limiting fat and cholesterol can reduce your blood
pressure by up to 11 mm Hg.

pressure without medication
3. Avoiding Sodium (Salt) intake
If you have high blood pressure, even a little reduction in salt in your diet can enhance
your heart health and lower your blood pressure by 5 to 6 mm Hg.

pressure without medication
4. Reducing Stress
High blood pressure may be worsened by chronic stress.The consequences of chronic
stress on blood pressure need to be studied further.

pressure without medication
5. LosingWeight
One of the most beneficial lifestyle modifications for controlling blood pressure is
weight loss. If you're overweight or obese, losing even a modest amount of weight can
help lower your blood pressure.

13. When can a person stop taking
Hypertension medications if started?
Before you stop taking blood pressure medication, you should discuss
the benefits and risks with your doctor.
There are two types of variables that lead to high blood pressure -
Modifiable and unmodifiable. Modifiable variables are those that you can modify, such as
your diet and amount of activity. Others, such as genetics and age, are beyond your control.
If your doctor finds that your high blood pressure is caused mainly by modifiable variables,
and your blood pressure readings return to normal after you make adjustments, you can
discuss quitting the medicines.
You may not be able to quit taking your medication if your high blood pressure is caused by
non-modifiable variables such as family history or unpredictable factors such as chronic
illness.This is especially true for older individuals, as age is an independent risk factor for
hypertension and is related to more complicated chronic disease management.

14. Diet Recommendations in
Hypertension
Diet is one of the easiest methods to control hypertension and avoid
potential risks.
The following are some of the most popular dietary suggestions for
hypertensive patients -
 Add more green veggies and less meat - A plant-based diet is a simplistic method to
boost fiber while lowering salt and harmful high in saturated fat from dairy and meat
consumption. Increase your daily intake of fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, and whole
grains. Consider healthy lean proteins like fish, chicken, or tofu instead of red meat.
 Avoiding Sweet and Sugary food - Sugary foods and beverages are high in empty
calories but low in nutrients. If you're craving something sweet, go for fresh fruit or
modest quantities of dark chocolate that hasn't been overly sweetened. According to
studies, consuming dark chocolate on a daily basis can help lower blood pressure.

15. Diet Recommendations in
Hypertension
 Oats - Beta-glucan, a kind of fiber found in oats, has been shown to lower blood
cholesterol levels.According to certain studies, beta-glucan may also help to reduce
blood pressure.
 Fermented foods - Probiotics, which are helpful microorganisms that play a vital role in
gut health, are abundant in fermented foods. Consuming probiotics has a minor impact
on high blood pressure. Some examples are natural yoghurt, kimchi, apple cider vinegar,
kombucha, and miso.
 Olive Oil - Olive oil is a good source of healthful fats. It includes polyphenols, which are
anti-inflammatory chemicals that can aid in blood pressure reduction.
 Add more fish in your diet - Fish is a high-protein, low-carbohydrate food. Omega-3
fatty acids found in fatty fish such as mackerel and salmon can help to decrease blood
pressure, inflammation, and triglycerides.Trout includes vitamin D in addition to these
fish sources.Vitamin D, a hormone-like vitamin with blood pressure-lowering effects, is
seldom found in foods.

16. Diet Recommendations in
Hypertension
 Potassium rich food - Potassium rich food like Banana, Avocado, Spinach, Broccoli,
Mushrooms, Sweet Potato, Oranges,Tuna, Beans, Nuts should be added in your diet.
Potassium neutralizes the effects of sodium and relieves tension in blood vessel walls.
Potassium should be discussed with a doctor if you have kidney problems, since too
much can be harmful.
 Consumption of too much Salt, Alcohol and caffeine should be avoided.
