Here Are Some Tips For Lowering Your Blood Pressure

 Got High Blood Pressure? What are the signs?  Well for one if you are having lots of headaches, or feel light headed, or even hear your heart beat in your temple, that is some of the physical signs.  Some people may not have any signs.  

When you have had your blood pressure taken it is represented as two numbers, such as 120/80mmHg (one hundred and twenty over eighty millimetres of mercury).

• The first figure – the systolic blood pressure – is a measure of the pressure when your heart muscle is contracted and pumping blood. This is the highest pressure in your blood vessels.
• The second figure – the diastolic blood pressure – is the pressure between heart beats when your heart is resting and filling with blood. This is the lowest pressure in your blood vessels.

 The lower your blood pressure, the better for your health. Doctors recommend that your blood pressure is kept below 140/85

It is important to go get your blood pressure checked regularly at your local Doctor's surgery.  Alternately there are monitors which you can buy such as the  Omron Bp652 7 Series Blood Pressure Wrist Unit or the Omron HEM-650 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with APS (Advanced Positioning Sensor)and use these to help measure your blood pressure in between your GP visits. 

Getting your blood pressure under control as soon as possible can reduce the  following ailments,

• cardiovascular disease, such as angina (chest pain caused by reduced blood flow), stroke, heart attack, heart failure or atrial fibrillation (irregular heart beat)
• kidney damage
• damaged sight

 Some of the causes of high blood pressure are

• lack of exercise
• poor diet
• stress
• being overweight
• high intake of alcohol

If you believe you have high blood pressure then you can improve this by improving your diet, losing weight or introducing more exercise into your daily routine.  Taking a walk instead of driving the car to the shops, walking the kids to school or even joining a salsa class or do something you enjoy or something you and the family could do together.
