Hypertension: A Deadly Disease

Hypertension and Diabetes are two of the most occurring diseases in the world’s population. Hypertension is also called as ‘high blood pressure’. It is referred to a condition in which the arteries face the pressure of the blood flow. Arteries are the main vehicle which carries the blood from the heart to the whole body.

Every time the heart beats, the arteries pump numerous liters of blood to all the organs of the human body. The higher the pressure on the arteries, the more effort the heart has to put it to pump the blood.

Hypertension is a disease which can further lead to damaged organs and various illnesses that include heart failure or stroke. The normal consistent blood pressure level should be 120/80, where 120 signifies systolic pressure (the highest pressure in arteries) whereas 80 symbolizes diastolic (the minimum pressure in the arteries). However, if the blood pressure exceeds from 80/120 to 139/89, then it is called pre-hypertension. If it reaches to 140/90 or more than that, it is considered as high blood pressure.

Health specialists have penned down many factors which can activate or boost hyper tension, which are; obesity, smoking, diabetes, lack of any physical activity, deficiency of vitamin D, stress, aging and also it comes through genes.
