Do you have high blood pressure? Do you have low blood pressure? This is an important question for your health and your life. Why? According to the American Heart Association (AHA), about one in three adults in the United States have high blood pressure. And only about 63 percent of those with high blood pressure are even aware that they have it. Causing, a heart wrenching of almost 60,000 Americans dying each year of complications related to high blood pressure. So what are the symptoms of high blood pressure?

Symptoms of High Blood Pressure: Unfortunately, the reason so many people don't know they have high blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is that there aren't really any clear symptoms of hypertension. However, some high blood pressure sufferers complain of: frequent headaches and dizziness. Therefore, if you even question that you or a loved one has high blood pressure, it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly. And if you know your blood pressure is too high, you can do something about it TODAY. Keep reading!

Significance of low pressure: * The sufferer is usually middle-aged. * There will be clear symptoms like pale skin, dizziness, loss of appetite and profuse sweating. * The best thing about this disease is that doctors recommend eating whatever the sufferer likes.

This effectively narrows the blood vessels which increases peripheral resistance and therefore increases pressure within the blood vessels. The term viscosity relates to how thick or thin your blood is. Your pressure will rise as the blood becomes thicker because it takes more force for the heart to pump the thick blood through the arteries. The viscosity of the blood can be affected by many things such as certain pre-existing illnesses. Additionally, the blood sugar level can be a factor for viscosity as well as many other possibilities. Essentially, high blood pressure (also known as hypertension) causes a deterioration of our blood vessels. This, in turn, increases our risk for heart attack, stroke and several other conditions.

When people consider their blood pressure, they usually think of avoiding hypertension. It is true that hypertension is bad for you, however, low pressure can be equally as hazardous. A few of the low blood pressure causes include internal bleeding, toxins, hormone imbalance, septic shock and several others. Even standing up from a sitting position can lower your pressure, but this is usually short lived. The low blood pressure causes are usually more severe and dangerous than the causes which create hypertension. Both conditions, without question, should be monitored by a trusted family physician.
