Information For a Normal Blood Pressure

Executive Summary About Normal Blood Pressure By Cheyenne Ibit

Blood Pressure And Exercise

Blood pressure is defined as the force exerted by the blood circulation on the blood vessel walls and BP is one of the 4 major vital signs.  Per heartbeat, blood pressure differs between the maximum (termed systolic) and the minimum (termed diastolic) pressures. Due to the pumping of the heart and the resistance of the blood vessels, the blood pressure decreases while the circulating blood was moving away of the heart all the way through the arteries.

The BP is referred to the pressure being measured from a person through the upper arm. It is commonly measured from the brachial artery that is the major blood vessel which is carrying blood away of the heart.  The BP is commonly articulated by the systolic and diastolic pressures like 110/70.

MEASUREMENT INFORMATION

The arterial pressure is usually measured trough a sphygmomanometer that in history uses the height of the mercury reflecting to the circulating pressures. These days, blood pressure assessments are still detailed in mercury millimeters (mmHg) even though the aneroid and electronic meters co not uses mercury.

BP varies among systolic and diastolic pressure for every beat of the heart. The diastolic pressure characterizes the minimum pressures on the arteries that happen in the beginning of the cardiac cycle in which the ventricles were full of blood. The average normal blood pressure of healthy adult is 120/80mmHg that spoken as one-twenty over eighty. Hypertension is the term used if the arterial pressure is abnormally high and the hypotension refers to the pressure that is abnormally low.

BP side by side with respiratory rate, body temperature, and pulse rate assessments are the major measurements in the physiological parameters. Arterial pressure measurements were non-invasive; it was measured without the skin or arterial penetration.

Blood Pressure Classifications to Adults

Hypotension - it refers to a blood pressure that ranges from less done 90 in systolic and less done 60 in diastolic. Normal - blood pressure levels which ranges from 90 to 119 systolic and 60 to 79 diastolic.

Stage 1 Hypertension - blood pressure ranges from 140 to 159 in systolic and 90 to 99 in diastolic.

Low Blood Pressure Symptoms

Executive Summary About Low blood pressure Symptoms By Kathryn Whittaker

High Blood Pressure Symptoms

When the pressure of the blood that is exerted against the walls of the blood vessels after and during every heart beat is lower than normal, you have low blood pressure. This can result in insufficient blood flow to the important body organs like the heart and the brain. And this can lead to various low blood pressure symptoms.You may detect low blood pressure symptoms during the use of various drugs such as those used for surgery, anti-anxiety agents, treatment for high blood pressure, diuretics, heart medicines, antidepressants, narcotics, alcohol, and other types of drugs.  You may notice the low blood pressure symptoms also because of dehydration, heart failure, or heart attack, anaphylaxis, shock, diabetes (especially in advanced stage), etc.

The most common low blood pressure symptoms are dizziness and lightheartedness. But there are other low blood pressure symptoms, and they are:

Because of low blood pressure not enough blood reaches to all parts of the body and thus the cells do not receive the correct amount of oxygen and nutrients.  Don't overlook the risk of low blood pressure if you cough with phlegm or if you are suffering from prolonged diarrhea, or if you are unable to eat or drink, or if you experience burning urinary symptoms or even if you are taking new medicines, because all these are low blood pressure symptoms. You should be aware that if you don't treat low blood pressure seriously it might lead to brain damage.

When you have low blood pressure, blood is not adequately supplied to the heart muscles and therefore breathlessness and chest tightness forms one of the common low blood pressure symptoms. When you have prolonged low blood pressure all organs start malfunctioning and this leads to shock.

The Causes of Low Blood Pressure

Executive Summary Low Blood Pressure Diet By Lee Berke

What Is Normal Blood Pressure

What is considered normal blood pressure is a varying number from individual to individual, taking into account many factors such as fitness level, age and height.  According to your own normal levels, you must determine if you have hypotension with the help of a professional. These causes of low blood pressure could be a sign of an underlying condition that needs immediate treatment.

Common causes include medications, pregnancy, heart problems, dehydration, infections, allergic reactions, endocrine problems and nutritional deficiencies.

Let's take a brief look at them:

Medications.

Certain type of medications often cause hypotension, even an excessive work of a drug to treat hypertension can have the contrary adverse effect.

Some drugs lower blood pressure when mixed with other substances such as alcohol and other drugs.

Pregnancy.

Pregnant women experience low blood pressure caused by the expansion of the circulatory system.

Heart Problems.

Some heart problems can cripple the function of the heart, making it unable to pump sufficient blood to the organs.

Dehydration.

A lack of water levels will lower the blood volume on the body, this is another of the common causes of hpotension. Can be an effect of vomiting an diarrhea.
