Understanding High Blood Pressure: Causes, Effects, and Management
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a common but serious condition where the force of blood against the walls of arteries is consistently too high. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and recorded with two numbers: systolic (the pressure when the heart beats) and diastolic (the pressure when the heart is at rest). A normal reading is around 120/80 mmHg. Readings above 130/80 mmHg are considered high and require attention. Causes and Risk Factors Hypertension can develop for various reasons. Common causes include: Genetics: Family history increases the likelihood of high blood pressure. Unhealthy Lifestyle: Lack of physical activity, poor diet (especially high in salt and processed foods), smoking, and excessive alcohol intake contribute significantly.
