Hyberteniosn (reasons _ Diagonsis)

Blood pressure: 

It is the force (pressure) blood rush to the arteries, so that the arteries transmit blood from the heart to the rest of the body, and the person's blood pressure changes throughout the day according to his activity.
The body's organs need oxygen -loaded blood in order to do their job and survive, when the heart beats, it creates the pressure that pushes the blood through a network of blood vessels; Which includes arteries, veins and capillaries, this pressure is the result of two forces: 

The first force (systolic pressure) is the pressure in the resulting arteries when the heart contracts (at the time of the heartbeat). 

The second force (diastolic pressure) indicates pressure in the arteries during the heart rate between the heart rate. 

Hypertension:
It means that blood pressure is higher than the normal rate, the higher the levels of blood pressure, the higher the risk of exposure to other health problems (such as: heart disease, heart attacks, and stroke), when blood pressure is very high for a long time, it harms blood vessels where cholesterol begins Harmful to accumulate on the walls of the arteries, which increases the burden of working in the circulatory circulation while reducing its efficiency. 

The reason: 

High blood pressure is caused by unhealthy lifestyle options (such as not exercising sufficient physical activity regularly), and some health conditions can lead to high blood pressure such as: 

Some kidney or hormones problems. 

Diabetes. 

Thyroid problems. 

Sleep Apnea. 

The presence of a congenital defect in the blood vessels from birth. 

Some types of medications (such as: birth control pills). 

Take drugs.

Obesity. 

Smoking. 

An unhealthy diet by a lot of salt.

Arrhythmia. 

Vision changes. 

Tinnit in the ears. 

High blood pressure can cause fatigue, nausea, vomiting, confusion, anxiety, chest pain, and muscle teeth.
Complications:
High blood pressure can cause severe heart damage due to the excessive sclerosis of the arteries; This reduces blood and oxygen flow to the heart, which leads to: 

pain in chest. 

heart attack. 

Heart failure. 

The lack of oxygen flow to the blood and the kidneys also leads to: 

brain attack. 

Kidney failure. 

Diagonsis: 

It is diagnosed by the doctor by measuring blood pressure and recording its height on two or three separate visits to confirm the diagnosis, as a family history, medical history, follow -up of blood pressure readings, laboratory analysis readings, and the work of tests, are taken to exclude any cause or risk factor for high blood pressure.
treatment:
Many people with high blood pressure can lower their blood pressure to the normal rate, or keep pressure readings in the normal range by making lifestyle changes: 

Practicing at least 150 minutes of physical activity every week (30 minutes a day, 5 days a week). 

Follow a healthy diet by reducing salt in meals to less than 5 grams (such as Dash). 

stop smoking. 

Control of stress and anxiety. 

Some people with high blood pressure may need to take medications to control blood pressure, which is done by the doctor.
protection:
A healthy lifestyle is one of the most important ways to prevent and control blood pressure, as it includes: 

Practicing physical activity. 

Maintaining a healthy weight.
