Blood pressure is the force of your blood &#97;&#103;&#97;&#105;&#110;&#115;&#116; your artery walls. When you have your blood pressure checked the reading has two numbers; &#111;&#110;&#101; &#111;&#110; top and &#111;&#110;&#101; &#111;&#110; bottom.<\/p>\n<p>The top number is your systolic pressure. This is the force of your blood in your arteries when your heart beats. The bottom number is your diastolic pressure. This is the force of your blood in your arteries when your heart relaxes in-between beats.<\/p>\n<p>Normal blood pressure would &#98;&#101; a reading of 120\/80 or lower. High blood pressure would &#98;&#101; a reading of 140\/90 or higher. If you have &#104;&#105;&#103;&#104; blood pressure you are &#97;&#116; a greater risk of a stroke or heart and kidney disease.<\/p>\n<p>Many things can cause &#104;&#105;&#103;&#104; blood pressure including physical inactivity, tobacco and alcohol use, stress and your diet. These are only a &#102;&#101;&#119; things. Certain medical conditions and medications can &#97;&#108;&#115;&#111; cause &#104;&#105;&#103;&#104; blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p>High blood pressure can cause your body &#116;&#111; have certain effects. For instance &#105;&#116; can cause a stroke. The &#104;&#105;&#103;&#104; pressure can cause a weakened blood vessel &#116;&#111; break causing &#105;&#116; &#116;&#111; bleed into the brain; thus leaving you with a stroke.<\/p>\n<p>High blood pressure can &#97;&#108;&#115;&#111; sometimes cause your blood vessels in your eyes &#116;&#111; bleed or burst. If this happens your vision &#119;&#105;&#108;&#108; &#98;&#101; blurred or impaired and might even result in blindness. Another reason &#105;&#116; is best &#116;&#111; &#107;&#101;&#101;&#112; control &#111;&#110; your blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Along with a stroke or kidney disease &#104;&#105;&#103;&#104; blood pressure can &#97;&#108;&#115;&#111; cause a heart attack. Your arteries are &#119;&#104;&#97;&#116; bring blood carrying oxygen &#116;&#111; your heart muscle. If your heart is not getting enough oxygen you &#119;&#105;&#108;&#108; experience chest pain. If the blood flow is blocked as well you &#119;&#105;&#108;&#108; experience a heart attack.<\/p>\n<p>Congestive Heart Failure is &#118;&#101;&#114;&#121; common among people with &#104;&#105;&#103;&#104; blood pressure. This is a &#118;&#101;&#114;&#121; serious condition &#119;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#101; your heart cannot pump enough blood &#116;&#111; supply the needs of your body. It is never too late &#116;&#111; start taking control of your health starting with your blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone can develop &#104;&#105;&#103;&#104; blood pressure, even children. It is more common &#102;&#111;&#114; African Americans &#116;&#111; develop it. Many Americans &#119;&#105;&#108;&#108; develop &#104;&#105;&#103;&#104; blood pressure as they age but that doesn&#39;t &#109;&#101;&#97;&#110; &#105;&#116; is healthy.<\/p>\n<p>Obesity plays a role in &#104;&#105;&#103;&#104; blood pressure. If you are &#111;&#118;&#101;&#114; weight you are &#97;&#116; a higher risk of &#104;&#97;&#118;&#105;&#110;&#103; &#104;&#105;&#103;&#104; blood pressure as well as a stroke or heart disease.

If you have &#104;&#105;&#103;&#104; blood pressure and are concerned you can easily monitor from home. If you &#100;&#111; this you &#119;&#97;&#110;&#116; &#116;&#111; have your doctor &#108;&#111;&#111;&#107; &#97;&#116; your home monitoring device &#116;&#111; help ensure &#105;&#116; is effective and you are operating &#105;&#116; correctly.<\/p>\n<p>Keep track of your blood pressure readings so you can &#115;&#101;&#101; &#119;&#104;&#97;&#116; is helping and &#119;&#104;&#97;&#116; isn&#39;t.
