High Blood Pressure Simplified

What is High Blood Pressure?
Above normal blood pressure can be rise in pressure enforced by circulating blood on the walls of artery as a natural response to stress or normal work. If you are experiencing hypertension regularly then it will make your heart and arteries feeble. It causes arterial disease, heart attacks and strokes.
Blood Pressure Reading
Physicians measure blood pressure as two values, the systolic (the blood pressure as it comes in the aorta from the heart) and the diastolic (the pressure when the heart ventricles repose between beats). It is read in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg).
Above normal Bloodpressure is made clear in a grown-up as a blood pressure more than or equal to 140 mm Hg systolic pressure, or higher or equable to 90 mm Hg diastolic pressure. Reading of blood pressure above 140/90 is strange and points out hypertension.
