Classification of Blood Pressure
High blood pressure can go unnoticed
for a long time, since it doesn’t cause
noticeable symptoms. The following
are all possible causes of abnormally
high blood pressure:
Overweight;
High cholesterol level;
Smoking;
Excessive alcohol consumption;
Stress and emotional upset;
Excessive consumption of salt;
Lack of physical exercise;
Genetic / hereditary predisposition;
Underlying illnesses, such as kidney
disorders or endocrine disturbance.
If your blood pressure reaches upper
values of 140~160 mmHg and lower
values of 90~95 mmHg in repeated
measurements over several days, you
should consult your doctor for detailed
medical examination. You can assist
the treatment prescribed by your
doctor in the following ways:
Loose weight and lower your
cholesterol level;
Reduce the consumption of alcohol;
Reduce the intake of salt;
Stop smoking;
Take regular exercise;
Monitor your blood pressure.
