Many people do not even know that their BP is high, so at least sometime after 40 years, we all have some medical tests that should be done. What is most important in that is BP, so we must check blood pressure sometimes.
And you will be shocked to hear that more than one billion people are suffering from this disease worldwide. And every third person in India is in the grip of this disease.
And every year, 71 lakh people lose their lives due to this disease.
What is blood pressure:-
Whenever we go to the doctor for treatment of any disease, the doctor first checks our pulse rate and BP.
Blood pressure provides a very good idea of the general health status of a person. Just as we get fever due to some infection in the body, similarly, the first symptom of many diseases is low blood pressure. There is blood pressure and the pressure that our blood exits on the artery walls.
There are two types of blood pressure:-
- Hypertension (increased blood pressure)
- Hypotension (drop in blood pressure)
This disease is directly related to our heart. Our heart is continuously pumping blood through the artery and transporting it throughout the body. And when the blood pressure increases above the arteries, then only the person has the problem of hypertension.
Then let’s talk about what is normal blood pressure and what is high blood pressure, and what is low blood pressure.
- Normal blood pressure is 120/80mmHg
- High blood pressure stage 1 = 130/80mmHg
- High blood pressure stage 2 = 140/90mmHg
- Contact a doctor immediately if your blood pressure is 180 systolic and 120 diastolic, then 180/120mmHg
All these values sperm means which instrument is used to measure blood pressure. We call it Sphygmomanometer.
