Hypertension - Should We Be Concerned?
Hypertension is a medical term used to describe a sustained elevation of blood pressure (BP), in either systolic and/or diastolic pressures.
Medical journals will give an indication for an "ideal" systolic and diastolic range to be around 120/80 Hg mm.
Most readers will think, what has that got to do with me.
I am feeling great.
Etc.
etc.
Do you, really? Well, whether you think you are feeling normal or not, do you know what your BP range is? Probably not.
Hypertension is a serious medical condition and if it is not monitored and controlled, it will lead to an early death.
Everyone should be concerned about their health.
That is one aspect of our lives that could sustain longevity.
Checking your blood pressure is simple.
If you are concerned about your health then you can visit your doctor on a regular basis and have your BP checked.
Ironically, the majority of people who suffer from hypertension are too busy to make appointments and take time out to see the doctor.
If you care about your health but do not have the time to visit your doctor then think seriously about getting yourself a BP monitor.
They are not expensive and will almost certainly prove to be a wake up call for you to improve the quality of your life.
With your own blood pressure monitor, you can start carrying out regular checks and you will be able to see if there is a trend or pattern to the readings.
It is in human nature to draw conclusions from patterns.
You will see your blood pressure measurement pattern and will inevitably start asking yourself questions about the state of your health.
With access to your own blood pressure monitor you can ensure that you are in the best position to maintain good health and not have to worry about your long term prognosis.
