Can Hypertension Symptoms Help you Recognize this Dangerous Condition?

Hypertension is also known as high blood pressure, and it affects many people in this country of all races and ages. Hypertension is a dangerous condition to leave unchecked, because it can increase your risk of other serious medical conditions like heart disease or stroke. If you experience hypertension symptoms, it is important to get into your doctor right away to begin treatment and avoid complications from high blood pressure. Wait a minute. Are there hypertension symptoms that you can look out for?

In most cases, the answer is no. High blood pressure is often referred to as a silent killer because it can linger for months or even years undetected. Particularly in the early stages, a person who has high blood pressure may experience no hypertension symptoms whatsoever. However, when your blood pressure becomes extremely high, you may see signs like a severe headache, vision problems, chest pain, difficulty breathing and blood in the urine. If you experience any of these hypertension symptoms, you should see your doctor immediately since you may be at a high risk for an imminent heart attack or stroke.

Finding the Condition Early
Most of us will never experience these hypertension symptoms because our blood pressure will never raise that severely. However, even more moderate fluctuations in blood pressure can lead to an increased risk of other conditions. Since hypertension symptoms at this stage of the game are generally few and far between, it is important to understand the risk factors involved in hypertension, and the proper ways to monitor your blood pressure to help keep it in check.

Normal blood pressure in 120/80 or lower. The pre-hypertension range is a systolic (top) number of 120-139, and a diastolic (bottom) number of 80-89. This is the point where you can begin to monitor your blood pressure more closely and make some simple lifestyle changes that can keep your pre-hypertension in check. However, pre-hypertension will often get worse over time, until it becomes full-fledged hypertension. At this point, whether you are experiencing hypertension symptoms or not, it is a good idea to talk to your doctor about the treatment options that are available to you.

Treatment Options
Treatment for hypertension will usually involve a medication to keep your blood pressure in check and recommended lifestyle changes that will keep your cardiovascular system strong and healthy. These might include changes to your diet, a daily exercise program and a weight loss plan if you are overweight. Since there are rarely hypertension symptoms to evaluate, you should continue to monitor your blood pressure to ensure that the numbers remain low. With proper care, you can effectively control your blood pressure and reduce your risk of health problems as a result.

For all of you who have any medical, emotional or physical problems need to face the music. ONLY YOU CAN HEAL YOUR BODY!!!! You need to research holistic approaches and stick with them. You learn things from your parents and family that are not healthy. Take charge and eliminate all the soda, icecream, chips and replace with LIVE FOOD. Vegetables, nuts, omega 3 and berries. I was once depressed and had chronic fatigue along with a host of other problems. It was only when I decided to go against my doctors and go holistic. I am depressed and chronic fatigue free. For those of you who are ill and think there is no cure, read the Water cure and and seasalt remedy.

For the one's that are claiming you are FAT... and the one's that are complaining about junk food & etc... Hear this... I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia, when, I was 15. I am now 41. Now, I am a full blown diabetic. I recently was bed bound for 9 months. I am now breaking down little by little. On top of that, since I did not take care of my hypoglycemic, I was diagnosed with schlerosis of the liver due to overweight and the diabetes taking over. Can anyone top that? You are right, you keep eating sweets, junk food and all the greasy foods. You will end up having cardio problems. This is one my other diagnosis. So, please take care of yourselves so, you won't have to leave your children and family one day. You can consider, my days are counted. FYI: When, my doctor told me... I cried for a week that my eyes looked like frog eyes. With prayers, my tears have been minimal. As I am telling you this, I am crying because it is so hard for me to know that I won't see my children grow up. YES, being active and staying away from pop and etc. it is a start. Oh, I was placed on a fat free diet and I lost 17 1/2 pounds in three weeks; perhaps my liver diagnosis will be reversed. Goodluck...

My Mother-in-law and I went on this fast for 3 1/2 days. I was leaving to come home, but I believe I could have done it a lot longer., the first two days were a little hard. Warming the water on the stove helped a LOT! I could tell my body was starting to cleanse. She is very knowledgeable, is 83, and in VERY good shape for her age! Anything you can do naturally to help your body is not crap - Sodas, Whoppers, and Greasy French Fries are Crap.
