Blood pressure is the force applied against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood through the body. The pressure is determined by the force and amount of blood pumped and the size and flexibility of the arteries.
blood pressure is defined by two measurements:
Systolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries produced when the heart contracts (at the time of a heart beat)
Diastolic pressure refers the pressure in the arteries during relaxation of the heart between heart beats.
Normal blood pressure — Systolic <120 mmHg AND diastolic <80 mmHg
Prehypertension — Systolic 120 to 139 mmHg OR diastolic 80 to 89 mmHg
Hypertension
Stage 1: systolic 140 to 159 mmHg OR diastolic 90 to 99 mmHg
Stage 2: systolic ≥160 mmHg OR diastolic ≥100 mmHg
Treatment options
Lifestyle changes — Treatment of hypertension usually begins with lifestyle changes. Making these lifestyle changes involves little or no risk. Recommended changes often include a moderate restriction on salt in the diet, weight loss in those who are overweight or obese, avoiding excess alcohol intake, stopping smoking, and regular aerobic exercise…
