Understanding and Managing Blood Pressure Naturally: A Comprehensive Guide

High blood pressure (also known as hypertension) is a common yet serious condition affecting millions of people worldwide. Often called the "silent killer", it usually develops over time and can cause severe damage to the heart, arteries, brain, and kidneys if left unmanaged.

On the other hand, low blood pressure (hypotension) can also be concerning, leading to symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, and fainting, and in severe cases, it may indicate underlying health issues.

But the good news? With the right knowledge, lifestyle changes, and natural support, you can take charge of your blood pressure—whether high or low—and support your overall well-being.

️ What is Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure is the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your arteries. It is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg). It is usually given as two numbers: systolic (the pressure when your heart beats) over diastolic (the pressure when your heart rests between beats).

A normal reading is generally considered to be around 120/80 mm Hg. Consistently higher readings can lead to serious health complications such as heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage.

️ What Causes High Blood Pressure?

Several factors contribute to elevated blood pressure, including:

• Poor diet (high in salt, sugar, and saturated fats)
• Lack of physical activity
• Chronic stress and poor sleep
• Obesity and excess weight
• Smoking and excessive alcohol use
• Genetics and age

Why is Blood Pressure Important?

Maintaining healthy blood pressure is crucial for overall health. High blood pressure (hypertension) can lead to serious health problems, including heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and vision loss. Low blood pressure (hypotension) can cause dizziness, fainting, and in severe cases, organ damage.

Understanding Blood Pressure Readings

Here's a general guide to understanding your blood pressure readings:

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension):

Normal: Less than 120/80 mmHg

Elevated: Systolic between 120-129 mmHg and diastolic less than 80 mmHg

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Stage 1: Systolic between 130-139 mmHg or diastolic between 80-89 mmHg

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Stage 2: Systolic 140 mmHg or higher or diastolic 90 mmHg or higher

Hypertensive Crisis: Systolic higher than 180 mmHg and/or diastolic higher than 120 mmHg (Requires immediate medical attention)

Low Blood Pressure (Hypotension):

Systolic less than 90 mmHg and/or diastolic less than 60 mmHg

Low blood pressure can cause symptoms like dizziness, fainting, and fatigue, especially when standing up quickly.

It can be caused by dehydration, heart problems, endocrine disorders, or medications.

Factors Influencing Blood Pressure

Several factors can influence your blood pressure, whether it's too high or too low:

• Age: Blood pressure tends to increase with age, but younger individuals may experience low blood pressure.
• Genetics: A family history of high or low blood pressure can affect your risk.
• Lifestyle: Diet, exercise, hydration, alcohol intake, and smoking habits play a significant role.
• Medical Conditions: Diabetes, kidney disease, adrenal or thyroid disorders can contribute to either high or low blood pressure.
• Medications: Certain medications (like diuretics, antidepressants, or beta-blockers) can cause low blood pressure.
• Stress: Chronic stress can lead to elevated blood pressure, while sudden emotional stress can sometimes cause blood pressure to drop.

Tips for Maintaining Healthy Blood Pressure

These lifestyle habits can help you maintain balanced blood pressure, whether you're trying to lower high blood pressure or support healthy levels if you have low blood pressure:

• Regularly monitor your blood pressure and consult your healthcare provider.

Additional Tips for Low Blood Pressure:

• Stand up slowly, especially from sitting or lying down.

• Wear compression stockings if recommended to prevent blood pooling.

• Consider increasing salt intake, but only under medical supervision
