Occassional high blood pressure increases risk of stroke




A recent study indicated that people with occasional high blood pressure may be at a higher risk of stroke than those having consistently high blood pressure. This could be because people who only occassionally saw spikes in blood pressure tend to dismiss it and not opt for any treatment.

In one of the studies published in the medical journals Lancet and Lancet Neurology, 8,000 patients who had had a heart attack were tracked over several years. It was found that those who had consistently variable blood pressure rates were at least six times more likely to have a stroke than those with regularly high blood pressure.

More than 50% of all adults are affected by high blood pressure and the research suggests that more people ought to consider getting their blood pressure checked at home regularly to monitor fluctuations.

Hypertension can be controlled naturally by several methods such as daily physical exercise, reduction in salt intake, reduction in weight, stress and anxiety. Certain herbs such as Arjuna and herbal formulations such as Abana have also been found effective in helping to maintain normal blood pressure levels. Arjuna capsules for normal blood pressure

High blood pressure | Natural blood pressure control




Blood pressure or the pressure against the walls of the arteries is measured as systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure occurs when the heart contracts to pump blood through the arterties while diastolic pressure is when the heart muscles relax. Pressure is created both by the heart pumping blood into the arteries and by the arteries resisting the flow of blood.

High blood pressure or hypertension generally carries no visible symptoms but causes damage to blood vessels in turn increasing the risk of heart disease, heart attacks and stroke. Many people have high blood pressure without realizing it. Diabetic patients are at an increased risk of having high blood pressure.

Recommended Blood Pressure for non-diabetic patients:

Systolic pressure: less than 130mg

Diastolic pressure: less than 80mg

For diabetic patients:

Systolic pressure: less than 140mg

Diastolic pressure: less than 85mg
