 HYPERTENSION

Hypertension or high blood pressure is a condition where the pressure on the

arterial vessels above normal, the heart will work more heavily than usual to circulate
blood through the blood vessels throughout the body.

Blood pressure involves two measurements, systolic and diastolic, where

systolic pressure is a pressure at the time the heart contracts and diastolic pressure is
the pressure at the time of the heart to relax.

It is said hypertension or high blood pressure when the increase in systolic

blood pressure more than 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure more than 90
mmHg.

Hypertension can be grouped into two broad categories, namely essential

hypertension (primary) and secondary hypertension. Essential hypertension (primary)
is an almost common type of 95 percent of cases of hypertension. Essential
hypertension (primary) is associated with a combination of lifestyle factors such as
immobility (inactivity) and diet. While secondary hypertension is around 5 percent of
cases of hypertension. Secondary hypertension is caused by other medical conditions
(eg heart disease) or reactions to certain drugs.

High blood pressure is often called "silent disease" because patients usually
do not know that their body has high blood pressure; there may be no visible
symptoms or signs, so regular blood pressure monitoring is essential. The diagnosis is
made with a sphygnomanometer.
The national consensus has recommended that digital blood pressure gauges be more
accurate than manual tools (by trained medical personnel). Why? Digital tools have
the ability to measure diastole more certain than manual tools.

The following are the trigger factors that are thought to affect the increased
risk of hypertension.
1. Being over 65 years old.
2. Eat lots of salt.
3. Being overweight.
4. Have a family with hypertension.
5. Lack of eating fruits and vegetables.
6. Rarely exercise.
7. Drinking too much coffee (or other drinks containing caffeine).
8. Too much alcohol

If your blood pressure is high, monitor it closely until it goes down and can be
controlled properly. Doctors usually suggest changes in lifestyle that are included in
the treatment for hypertension as well as prevention.
These steps can be implemented through:
1. Eat healthy foods.
2. Reduce consumption of salt and caffeine.
3. Stop smoking.
4. Exercise regularly.
5. Lose weight, if needed.
6. Reduce alcohol consumption.

Preventing hypertension is easier and cheaper than treatment. Therefore,

prevention should be done as early as possible. If ignored for too long, hypertension
can lead to complications that can even threaten the lives of patients
