How is Your Health Affected by Isolated Systolic High Blood Pressure?

I have battled hypertension and know first hand what it can do to one's body. In today's world, it is one of the most common killer diseases. So, as I suffered, I also tried to find as much as I could about this problem and related issues.

140/90 is considered to be high blood pressure. Systolic pressure is the upper number that is 140. You will be considered as pre-hypertensive if you have pressure between 120/80 to 139/89.

One of the most common problems of old age is hypertension. But today people who have just turned 50 is showing symptom of the disease. That is why it is very imperative that you keep a tab on the reading of your blood pressure.

The heart is most adversely affected by the increasing blood pressure. As it increases, the heart has to work harder leading to chances of heart attack.

Not only heart, but other vital organs like kidney are equally damaged by the rising blood pressure.

As mentioned earlier, the higher reading of your blood pressure is called the systolic pressure. It is the pressure of blood plumped through arteries in every beat. This pressure is very important as because if it is higher than normal, the person is diagnosed as suffering from isolated systolic high blood pressure. The lower number is called the diastolic pressure. It is the pressure of the blood that is being pumped when the heart is resting. This pressure is not that much of a concern; it actually decreases as we age. But a correct reading for hypertension has to include both these pressure readings.

The best person to judge, whether or not a person is suffering from high blood pressure, is the medical practitioner.

You may lead an apparent healthy life, but you will never know what this disease will prove to be fatal. The outwards symptoms are so few that it is very east to ignore that you have a problem till it becomes too late. That is why high blood pressure is known as a 'silent disease".

Even when people are aware that they are patients, still they hesitate before going to the doctor. That is because they hate to be in medications which sometime have very unpleasant side effects. So if you are one such patient, the best course is to talk to your doctor regarding this.

But your doctor may not share the same concern with you and disregard your request for avoiding medication. This is the most common complain that is there against Western doctors that they relay too much on medication.

Again, the doctors cannot be totally blamed for taking this decision. Most of the time, the patients are hesitant or averse to giving up unhealthy lifestyle like drinking, smoking, sedentary life which contributes to hypertension to a large degree. Hence, in such scenario, the doctors can't help but prescribe medicines.

To combat this problem, I have developed my own all natural High Blood Pressure Program that has been proved effective against isolated Systolic or otherwise high blood pressure. My program not only treats this problem, but cures it as well. The process is very relaxing and you have to devote only a small fraction of your time to implement it.
