Hypertension Causes, Prevention and Treatment

Christian Sutton of Fort Wayne couldn't believe it. Dr. Woods at the Fort Wayne South Clinic broke the bad news. He had hypertension.

Christian had a good excuse. After all, as a corporate manager in American Can, he certainly had his share of stress. And, let's not even talk about the cigarette.

According to Dr. Woods just being male was a cause of his hypertension. The fact that he was 44 certainly didn't help.

Unfortunately, arterial hypertension rarely causes any symptoms until it has caused arteriosclerosis and possibly an aneurysm. In fact, high blood pressure can be markedly severe before there are any symptoms.

Your arterial blood pressure goes up and down throughout the day. If you play tennis for half an hour your pressure will go up. Even if you just see a stimulating scene on TV you will see a rise in your arterial blood pressure.

If you took your blood pressure right after that, it would read high, but not be important.

Things you eat, drink and smoke can also increase your blood pressure. Caffeine drinks like coffee will do the same. Nicotine from chewing tobacco stimulates the heart to increase your pressure as well.

You may think that alcohol relaxes you, but the long term effects of all those alcohol, cocktails, and liquers drinks take their toll as well.

Spending too much time in your favorite recliner instead of getting some exercise increases your chances of blood pressure problems.

Fortunately, there are many places you can get your blood pressure checked today. Many stores and pharmacies have automatic blood pressure machines you can use. Just sit down for a couple minutes and get it checked. If you pressure is up slightly three different times, you should see a doctor. If it is over about 160 just once, you should also seek medical advice.

Rest makes your blood pressure go down. Because of that, the best time to take your blood pressure is after a peaceful period.

But, back to Christian. His family history made a big difference in his high blood pressure. He had a father who died at age 58 of a heart attack. Genetics can really increase your chances of needing treatment for high blood pressure.

Fortunately, these days, there is a lot you can do to decrease high blood pressure.

Changing your diet will definitely help. You will improve your blood pressure as well as your overall health by increasing your intake of fruits and vegetables. You should get regular exercise, lots of water and a good night's sleep. If you can stop using tobacco and limit or cut out your alcohol altogether that will help a great deal.

If you don't completely normalize your blood pressure by those means, many different medications are available today that will help. You will want to find a physician that you can work with on keeping your pressure normal.
