High Blood Pressure: Causes and Treatment

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is underplayed despite the fact that it is killing more numbers of people than some very popular diseases such as HIV/AIDS and cancer.

Its prevalence in recent times spells it as an obvious and major cause of stroke and cardiovascular-related deaths. General health statistics show that the number of high blood pressure-related deaths has climbed sporadically than it was in the last decade.

This dire situation owes to the fact that awareness about the condition is either not widespread or shallow enough.

The majority of those who suffer from hypertension do not even know their condition while most of those who are aware they have it are not receiving treatments.

Another common misconception leading to the high prevalence of hypertension is the belief that young people don’t suffer from high blood pressure.

Though the risk of having hypertension increases as age advances, on the contrary, there has been an increase in the number of young people who suffer from it.

Symptoms of Hypertension

Hypertension is established when blood pressure counts above 140 over 90 mmHg over a length of time. When blood pressure is measured at this rate, it means the heart is burdened by pumping faster than usual which in turn leads to the hardening of the arteries.

Since the condition does not have very clear symptoms, many people just carry on until it becomes acute and random signs like a headache, short breath, eye ache, dizziness, result to heart attack or stroke which is just two of the many damages high blood pressure can do to good health.

It has also been related to dementia, poor vision or total loss of eyesight, damage to brain cells, sexual dysfunction, mild cognitive impairment, damage to the kidneys, sleep disorder and bone loss.

High Blood Pressure Causes 

The causes of raised blood pressure are clearly wide and diverse. The most common cause is related to lifestyle. People who do not exercise, who are obese, who smoke, who are deprived of sleep, who use large amounts of salt in their food, who take too much of fatty foods and those who take excessive alcohol are at a high risk of having high blood pressure.

It can also occur as a symptom of other repressing conditions like kidney disease, diabetes, hormone problems, lupus, conditions related to sleep defects, scleroderma and so on.

Certain medicines and drugs such as steroids, antidepressants, a medley of oral contraceptive pills, and recreational drugs such as cocaine and amphetamines can also cause hypertension.

Treatment of High Blood Pressure

Nonetheless, raised blood pressure can be treated with conventional drug therapies or alternative therapies coupled with lifestyle changes. Drugs such as diuretics, beta-blockers, angiotensin converting enzymes inhibitors, renin inhibitors, and combined medications, among others, are used to treat blood pressure challenges.

If you are typically weary of conventional treatment, you have a good alternative. You can decide to opt for herbal medicines.

In recent times, treating increased blood pressure with herbal medicines has gained global attention due to its efficacy and lesser side effects than conventional medicines and drugs.

From the reliable evidence, herbal medicines from the extracts of cocoa seed, sesame, flaxseed, cinnamon, basil, lemons, water lemon seeds, garlic, coconut water, hawthorn, ginger, celery, French lavender, cat’s claw, etc., have shown potentials to reduce or cure hypertension.

These medicines are as cheap as they come and readily available. These medicines with a proper lifestyle changes hand in hand can help achieve your desired pressure count. It is obviously better to prevent the condition through lifestyle changes than managing the condition.

Healthy lifestyle changes like losing weight, limiting the intake of alcohol or quitting, getting regular exercise, reducing the intake of sodium especially through reducing salt intake, eating a healthy diet and strict adherence to these changes can make you lead a life devoid of hypertension and its attendant consequences.

Importantly, be aware; it is pertinent to keep a tab on your blood pressure on a steady basis which is one of the reasons owning a blood pressure monitor is important. At least discovery will allow you take proactive decisions by which another avoidable sudden death can be shelved.
