According to the Center Council for Research in Ayurvedic Science, blood pressure is called high when: systolic blood pressure is 140 mm Hg or more, or diastolic blood pressure is 90mm Hg or more. If high blood pressure is not treated properly, it can cause heart disease, stroke, kidney damage and other serious diseases.
The National Health Mission has also spread awareness about high BP. According to this information, if you are feeling symptoms like high headache, stress or nervousness, chest pain, nasal bleeding, dizziness, abnormal heart rhythm (heart irregular heartbeat), or difficulty in breathing, then contact the doctor immediately. When such symptoms appear, it can mean enlargement of blood pressure and it is affecting your organs. Especially after the age of 30 years, regularly should be done for high blood pressure.
Actually, as our age increases, our arteries also become a little less flexible and the risk of increasing blood pressure increases. According to the Center Council for Research in Ayurvedic Science, a major reason for hypertension is related to lifestyle. Such as taking excess stress, excessive consumption of alcohol, tobacco, tea, coffee, the habit of waking up at night and sleeping during the day are such things that are associated with our wrong lifestyle and promote high blood pressure. Apart from this, wrong eating, more cholesterol diet, obesity, side effects of some medicines and history of high blood pressure in the family are also a big reason for hypertension.
