What are the danger zones for high blood pressure. How can prehypertension be managed. What lifestyle changes can help prevent hypertension. Is prehypertension a natural part of aging. Who is at risk for developing high blood pressure.

Decoding Blood Pressure Readings: What Do the Numbers Mean?

Blood pressure readings consist of two numbers, typically expressed as one number “over” another, such as 138 over 87. But what do these numbers actually represent? The top number, called systolic pressure, measures the force exerted on artery walls when the heart beats. The bottom number, known as diastolic pressure, indicates the pressure in the arteries between heartbeats when the heart is at rest.

A normal blood pressure reading is generally considered to be below 120/80 mmHg. However, the range between 120-139 mmHg systolic and 80-89 mmHg diastolic is classified as prehypertension, a warning sign that full-blown hypertension may develop if preventive measures are not taken.

The Significance of 138/87

A blood pressure reading of 138/87 falls within the prehypertension range. This indicates that while the individual does not yet have high blood pressure, they are at an increased risk of developing it in the future. It’s a critical point where lifestyle interventions can make a significant difference in preventing the progression to hypertension.

Prehypertension: The Silent Warning Sign

Prehypertension serves as an early warning system for cardiovascular health. It’s a stage where blood pressure is higher than normal but not yet high enough to be classified as hypertension. Understanding this condition is crucial for implementing timely preventive measures.

Defining Prehypertension

Prehypertension is characterized by a systolic blood pressure between 120-139 mmHg or a diastolic pressure between 80-89 mmHg. This stage is significant because it indicates an increased risk of developing high blood pressure and associated cardiovascular complications.

Why is prehypertension concerning? Even at this stage, the risk of heart attack and stroke begins to increase. Research has shown that for every 20-point increase in systolic pressure or 10-point rise in diastolic pressure, the risk of these cardiovascular events doubles for adults aged 40-70.

The Prevalence of Prehypertension: A Growing Concern

Prehypertension is more common than many people realize. According to the American Heart Association, approximately 59 million people in the United States have prehypertension. This staggering number underscores the importance of blood pressure awareness and early intervention.

Who is most likely to develop prehypertension? While it can affect anyone, certain factors increase the risk:

• Age: The risk increases as we get older
• Family history of hypertension
• Obesity or overweight
• Sedentary lifestyle
• High-sodium diet
• Excessive alcohol consumption
• Chronic stress

Interestingly, individuals with prehypertension often have a higher prevalence of other cardiovascular risk factors, such as high cholesterol, obesity, and diabetes, compared to those with normal blood pressure. This clustering of risk factors emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach to cardiovascular health.

Debunking the Myth: Is High Blood Pressure an Inevitable Part of Aging?

A common misconception is that high blood pressure is an unavoidable consequence of aging. However, this belief is not supported by scientific evidence. While it’s true that blood pressure tends to rise with age in many industrialized nations, this trend is not universal.

Studies of populations in certain parts of the world, such as some regions in Mexico and the South Pacific, have shown minimal age-related increases in blood pressure. These populations typically have very low salt intake, which is believed to be a key factor in maintaining healthy blood pressure levels throughout life.

This evidence suggests that lifestyle factors, particularly diet, play a crucial role in determining blood pressure trends across different age groups. It underscores the potential for preventing or minimizing age-related blood pressure increases through appropriate lifestyle modifications.

Lifestyle Interventions: The First Line of Defense Against Prehypertension

For individuals diagnosed with prehypertension, the good news is that lifestyle changes can be highly effective in managing blood pressure and preventing progression to hypertension. Here are some key strategies:

1. Weight Management

Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for blood pressure control. Even modest weight loss can have significant benefits. Studies have shown that losing excess weight can reduce the risk of hypertension by up to 20% in overweight individuals with prehypertension.

2. Regular Physical Activity

Exercise is a powerful tool for managing blood pressure. Regular physical activity not only helps with weight control but also has direct beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity per week.

3. Adopting a Heart-Healthy Diet

Diet plays a crucial role in blood pressure management. The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet has been shown to be particularly effective. This eating plan emphasizes:

• Fruits and vegetables
• Whole grains
• Lean proteins, especially fish
• Low-fat dairy products
• Foods rich in potassium, magnesium, and calcium

4. Reducing Sodium Intake

Limiting dietary sodium is crucial for blood pressure control. The recommended daily intake is less than 2,300 milligrams, which is about one teaspoon of table salt. However, individuals with prehypertension may benefit from even lower sodium intake.

5. Moderating Alcohol Consumption

Excessive alcohol intake can raise blood pressure. If you choose to drink, do so in moderation. This means up to one drink per day for women and up to two drinks per day for men.

The Role of Diet in Blood Pressure Management

Diet is a cornerstone of blood pressure management. Beyond sodium reduction, several dietary strategies can help lower blood pressure or prevent its rise:

Increasing Potassium Intake

Potassium helps balance the effects of sodium in the body. Foods high in potassium include:

• Bananas
• Sweet potatoes
• Spinach
• Beans
• Avocados

Embracing Plant-Based Eating

Plant-based diets have been associated with lower blood pressure. This doesn’t necessarily mean becoming fully vegetarian, but increasing the proportion of plant-based foods in your diet can be beneficial. Consider incorporating more:

• Legumes
• Nuts and seeds
• Whole grains
• Fruits and vegetables

Limiting Saturated and Trans Fats

Diets high in saturated and trans fats are associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Focus on healthy fats from sources like olive oil, avocados, and fatty fish, while limiting intake of red meat, full-fat dairy, and processed foods.

The Importance of Regular Blood Pressure Monitoring

Regular blood pressure checks are essential for early detection and management of prehypertension. But how often should blood pressure be measured? For individuals with prehypertension, more frequent monitoring may be beneficial.

Home Blood Pressure Monitoring

Home blood pressure monitors allow for more frequent and convenient measurements. When using a home monitor:

1. Take readings at the same time each day
2. Sit quietly for 5 minutes before measuring
3. Take multiple readings and record the results
4. Share these records with your healthcare provider

Home monitoring can provide a more comprehensive picture of blood pressure trends and help guide treatment decisions.

Public Blood Pressure Stations

Many pharmacies, grocery stores, and community centers offer blood pressure monitoring stations. While these can be convenient, it’s important to use them correctly and understand that they may not be as accurate as clinical measurements.

Beyond Lifestyle: When to Consider Medical Intervention

While lifestyle modifications are the first line of defense against prehypertension, there are situations where medical intervention may be necessary. Healthcare providers consider several factors when determining if medication is appropriate for individuals with prehypertension:

• Presence of other cardiovascular risk factors
• Family history of early heart disease
• Persistence of elevated blood pressure despite lifestyle changes
• Evidence of organ damage related to blood pressure

When medication is prescribed, it’s typically used in conjunction with continued lifestyle modifications. Common classes of blood pressure medications include:

• ACE inhibitors
• Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs)
• Calcium channel blockers
• Diuretics

The choice of medication depends on individual factors and should be discussed thoroughly with a healthcare provider.

The Long-Term Outlook: Preventing Progression to Hypertension

Prehypertension is not a diagnosis to be taken lightly, but it’s also not a guarantee of future hypertension. With proper management and lifestyle changes, many individuals can prevent or delay the progression to high blood pressure.

Long-term studies have shown that consistent adherence to healthy lifestyle practices can significantly reduce the risk of developing hypertension. For example, the Framingham Heart Study, one of the longest-running studies on cardiovascular health, has provided valuable insights into the long-term benefits of blood pressure management.

The Role of Stress Management

While often overlooked, stress management plays a crucial role in blood pressure control. Chronic stress can contribute to elevated blood pressure and make it more challenging to maintain healthy lifestyle habits. Effective stress-reduction techniques include:

• Meditation and mindfulness practices
• Regular exercise
• Adequate sleep
• Time management and prioritization
• Social support and connection

Incorporating these strategies into daily life can have a positive impact on both blood pressure and overall well-being.

Empowering Patients: The Importance of Education and Self-Management

Knowledge is power when it comes to managing blood pressure. Educating individuals about their blood pressure numbers, what they mean, and how to influence them is crucial for successful long-term management.

Understanding Your Numbers

Every blood pressure reading provides valuable information. Patients should be encouraged to:

• Know their target blood pressure range
• Understand the significance of both systolic and diastolic pressures
• Recognize how different factors (e.g., stress, time of day) can affect readings
• Keep a log of blood pressure measurements over time

Partnering with Healthcare Providers

Effective blood pressure management is a collaborative effort between patients and healthcare providers. Regular check-ups, open communication about concerns or challenges, and shared decision-making regarding treatment plans are all essential components of this partnership.

By empowering patients with knowledge and encouraging active participation in their care, healthcare providers can help individuals take control of their blood pressure and overall cardiovascular health.

Pre-hypertension: Symptoms, Risk Factors, Treatment

What Is Prehypertension?

In  stage 1 hypertension, also known as prehypertension, the systolic (top number) reading is 120 mmHg-139 mmHg, or the diastolic (bottom number) reading is 80 mmHg-89 mmHg.

Prehypertension is a warning sign that you may get high blood pressure in the future. High blood pressure increases your risk of heart attack, stroke, coronary heart disease, heart failure, and kidney failure. There’s no cure for high blood pressure, but there is treatment with diet, lifestyle habits, and medications.

We know that starting as low as 115/75 mmHg, the risk of heart attack and stroke doubles for every 20-point jump in systolic blood pressure or every 10-point rise in diastolic blood pressure for adults aged 40-70.

Who Is at Risk for Prehypertension?

Nearly half of all adults older than age 18 have prehypertension or hypertension, as measured by average of two or more readings at two or more doctor’s visits.

According to the American Heart Association, 59 million people in the U.S. have prehypertension.

People with prehypertension may have a greater risk for other cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. These risk factors — such as high cholesterol, obesity, and diabetes — are seen more in people with prehypertension than in those with normal blood pressure.

Is Prehypertension a Result of Aging?

You may wonder if high blood pressure happens with aging, but experts say no.

Some populations across the globe have minimal rise in blood pressure with aging. In some parts of Mexico, the South Pacific, and other parts of the world, people have very low salt intake. In these areas, the age-related rise in blood pressure is small compared with the U.S.

Is There Treatment for Prehypertension?

Prehypertension is a warning sign. It means that you’re at a greater risk of high blood pressure. Depending on your blood pressure and risk factors for heart disease, you may only need to make a few lifestyle adjustments. Here are some strategies to help you manage prehypertension:

• Lose weight if you are overweight. Being overweight increases the risk of high blood pressure. However, losing weight can lower high blood pressure. Studies show that modest weight loss can prevent hypertension by 20% in overweight people with prehypertension.
• Exercise regularly.Exercise helps you lose weight. Exercise also helps lower blood pressure.
• Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish, and low-fat dairy. Studies show high blood pressure can be lowered and prevented with the DASH diet. This[TM1] diet is low in sodium and high in potassium, magnesium, calcium, protein, and fiber.
• Cut back on dietary salt/sodium. A diet high in sodium (salt) can increase blood pressure. A low-sodium diet can lower high blood pressure — or prevent it. Aim for less than 2,300 milligrams of sodium daily (about 1 teaspoon of table salt).
• Eat foods low in saturated and trans fat and cholesterol. Diets high in saturated fat (meats and high-fat dairy), trans fat (some margarine, snack foods, and pastries) and cholesterol (organ meats, high-fat dairy, and egg yolks) may lead to obesity, heart disease, and cancer.
• Eat a plant-based or vegetarian diet. Add high-protein soy foods to your diet. Increase servings of fruits and vegetables by adding one serving at a time. You can add a serving of fruit at lunchtime. Then add a serving of vegetables at dinner.
• Drink only in moderation. Drinking excess alcohol can increase blood pressure. Limit drinking to no more than two drinks a day for men, and one drink a day for women.

It’s important to get your blood pressure checked regularly. Know your blood pressure number. Let your doctor know if your blood pressure number is higher.

You can monitor your blood pressure between doctor’s visits with a home blood pressure monitor. Or, you can use an electronic blood pressure monitor at your local pharmacy, grocery store, or fire station.

Talk to your doctor about your blood pressure. Ask if diet and exercise can help lower your risk of getting high blood pressure.

Is Your Blood Pressure Normal?

At just about every visit, your health provider will check to see if you have normal blood pressure. Taking a blood pressure reading is a simple, painless test performed with a blood pressure monitor to measure the pressure within your arteries.

Are you doing everything you can to manage your heart condition? Find out with our interactive checkup.

Blood pressure is measured with two numbers: systolic pressure (the top number) which is the pressure when your heart beats, and diastolic pressure (the bottom number) which is the pressure when your heart is relaxed.

Ideally, your blood pressure should be 120/80 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) or less, according to Gbenga Ogedegbe, MD, MPH, MS, a clinical hypertension specialist, director of the Center for Healthful Behavior Change, and associate professor of medicine for the division of general internal medicine at New York University School of Medicine in New York City. Blood pressure within the ranges of 120-139/80-89 mmHg is technically considered normal but “pre-hypertensive,” meaning that it puts you at risk of developing hypertension, or high blood pressure, in the future.

Variations in Normal Blood Pressure

Dr. Ogedegbe says to think of a traffic light when you evaluate your blood pressure readings. “Green is anything less than 120/80, yellow is 120-139/80-89, and red is when your blood pressure is 140/90 and above,” Ogedegbe says. People whose systolic blood pressure is 140 mmHg or greater or whose diastolic blood pressure is 90 mmHg or greater are said to be hypertensive, or have high blood pressure.

Everyone’s blood pressure fluctuates, but normal blood pressure means that yours is usually less than 120/80 mmHg. “Before we can say somebody has high blood pressure, we like to see them take their blood pressure on two separate occasions at least a month apart,” says Ogedegbe.

If your blood pressure is high at one visit, your doctor will probably suggest that you come back for another reading or use a home blood pressure monitor to track your blood pressure before diagnosing you as hypertensive.

A high blood pressure reading at a doctor visit could also be due to what health care providers call “white coat hypertension.” Some people have in-office blood pressure readings that are temporarily elevated due to the anxiety of being at the doctor’s.

At the other end of the spectrum is low blood pressure. Ogedegbe says that blood pressure is generally considered to be low when either systolic blood pressure is less than 90 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure is less than 60 mmHg.

If you have low blood pressure and do not have any worrisome symptoms, such as dizziness, headaches, or an abnormal heart rate, it is probably not a concern. But if your blood pressure is severely low — less than 80/50 mmHg — or you experience a sudden drop in blood pressure, consult your health care provider.

Home Blood Pressure Management and Monitoring

Avoiding white coat hypertension is one of the advantages that home blood pressure monitoring has over in-office monitoring. Home monitoring gives your doctor a truer picture of what your blood pressure is in your own environment. Another advantage is that it allows your doctor to take the average of several blood pressure readings, instead of relying on a single reading in the medical office.

To best manage your blood pressure at home, follow these guidelines:

• Ask your doctor what type of blood pressure monitor he or she recommends and have it calibrated against the monitor at your doctor’s office.
• Avoid smoking, drinking caffeinated beverages, or exercising for 30 minutes before you take your blood pressure.
• Relax in a chair with one arm on a table and the other arm at heart level.
• Place the blood pressure cuff over your upper arm (see your device’s instructions for proper placement).
• Take two or three blood pressure readings daily and record your results on a chart, including the date and time of day (it is best to take readings at the same time each day).
• Call your health care provider if you get an at-home reading that is too high or too low.

Knowing your blood pressure is important part of health management, since undiagnosed hypertension puts you at risk for a variety of other conditions. Make sure to consult your doctor if you have any concerns or questions about your blood pressure numbers.

High Blood Pressure in Pregnancy

When most people think about high blood pressure and pregnancy, one of the first things that might come to mind is preeclampsia. And while preeclampsia is a blood pressure condition that affects pregnant and sometimes postpartum women, there’s actually a lot more to having high blood pressure than you might think.

We’ve rounded up all the need-to-knows about this common—and highly treatable—condition that affects 5% to 8% of all pregnancies in women ages 20 to 44 across the U.S.

What is considered high blood pressure during pregnancy?

Blood pressure (the force of blood that pushes against the walls of your arteries) is one of the most closely monitored vitals throughout your pregnancy and after delivery. And for good reason: if your blood pressure gets too high, it can put extra stress on your body, leading to health issues for you and for your baby.

In order to diagnose high blood pressure, also called hypertension, your healthcare provider will monitor your blood pressure readings and classify any higher-than-normal readings into one of three categories (a normal blood pressure reading is below 120/80 mm Hg):

• Elevated blood pressure (120-129/<80): A systolic pressure ranging from 120-129 mm Hg and a diastolic pressure below 80 mm Hg.
• Stage 1 hypertension (130-139/80-89): A systolic pressure ranging from 130-139 mm Hg or a diastolic pressure ranging from 80-89 mm Hg.
• Stage 2 hypertension (>140/>90): A systolic pressure of 140 mm Hg or higher or a diastolic pressure of 90 mm Hg or higher.

If you experience any of the higher readings, your doctor will work with you to find the right treatment plan for you. This may involve diet, exercise and medication.

Causes and types of high blood pressure in pregnancy

Researchers are still stumped as to the exact causes of high blood pressure during pregnancy. And while some women will go into pregnancy already dealing with high blood pressure, others develop it sometime over the course of the 40 weeks of pregnancy.

There are four types of high blood pressure in pregnancy:

• Gestational hypertension. Gestational hypertension is high blood pressure that develops after 20 weeks of pregnancy. It often causes only a small rise in blood pressure, but in certain cases can be more severe. There are no signs of preeclampsia, such as protein in the urine or signs of other organ damage. Gestational hypertension disappears after you give birth.
• Chronic hypertension. Chronic hypertension is high blood pressure that you have before you get pregnant or that develops before 20 weeks of pregnancy. Unlike other types of high blood pressure, it won’t go away after you give birth, but it can be managed.
• Chronic hypertension with superimposed preeclampsia. This condition occurs when chronic hypertension leads to preeclampsia. It develops in women who had chronic hypertension before getting pregnant and then develop worsening high blood pressure and symptoms of preeclampsia such as protein in the urine.
• Preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is a blood pressure condition that occurs after the 20th week of pregnancy and involves elevated blood pressure readings in conjunction with possible signs of damage in other organs, like the liver and kidneys.

Symptoms of high blood pressure in pregnancy

It’s tough to miss many of the symptoms of pregnancy. (We’re looking at you, swollen ankles and 10 pm cookie cravings!) But signs of hypertension during pregnancy aren’t always so obvious.

Symptoms of high blood pressure in pregnancy range from mild to severe and include:

• Elevated blood pressure reading. Your doctor checks your blood pressure at every prenatal appointment for a reason; since you often won’t feel any different, getting a blood pressure reading is the only true way to know if you’re developing hypertension. A provider will often look for multiple high readings a few hours apart to confirm a high blood pressure diagnosis.

• Preeclampsia symptoms. These can include:

  • Protein in your urine (one of the many reasons your doctor is always asking you to pee in a cup during your appointments!)
  • Severe headaches
  • Changes in vision (blurred vision, seeing spots, light sensitivity)
  • Shortness of breath
  • Upper abdominal pain, often under your ribs on the right side.

Don’t wait if you’re experiencing any of these symptoms and feel like something might not be right—it’s always worth a call or a visit to your healthcare provider to check in.

Risks of high blood pressure during pregnancy

Although it may be tough to think about the risks to you or your baby if you’re diagnosed with hypertension during your pregnancy, the good news is that many are preventable with the right blood pressure management and treatment.

Risks of high blood pressure during pregnancy for the woman include:

• Organ damage
• Future cardiovascular disease
• Placental abruption

Risks for the baby include:

• Decreased blood flow to the placenta
• Growth restriction
• Premature delivery

How to prevent high blood pressure during pregnancy

It may sound obvious, but taking care of you is one of the best ways to take care of your baby both during and after pregnancy, including when it comes to preventing high blood pressure.

While there’s no surefire way to prevent high blood pressure, keeping up with your prenatal appointments and staying as healthy as possible through diet and exercise are two major things you can do to ward off hypertension.

Since high blood pressure doesn’t always present with obvious symptoms, it’s important to never miss a prenatal or postnatal checkup so your doctor can keep tabs on your blood pressure readings over time and keep an eye out for any red flags.

And although there’s certainly nothing wrong with having a cookie (or two…) throughout your pregnancy, do your best to eat a healthy and well-balanced diet as much as you can.

Eating right and staying active can have a hugely positive impact not only on your blood pressure, but on you and your baby too.

If you do have a high blood pressure during your pregnancy, there are treatments available, from blood pressure medications to increased monitoring, you and your doctor can discuss to help keep you and baby healthy.

High blood pressure (hypertension) | healthdirect

As blood is pumped by the heart around the body, the pressure with which it pushes against the walls of blood vessels changes.

When the heart is squeezing blood into the arteries, the pressure is high.

When the heart is relaxed, the pressure is lower.

Your blood pressure is a measurement taken of the highest reading and the lowest reading. It is given as 2 figures — highest (systolic) over lowest (diastolic).

• Systolic — pressure in the artery as the heart contracts. This is represented by the top, higher number.
• Diastolic — pressure in the artery when the heart is relaxing and being filled with blood. This is represented by the bottom, lower number.

What is high blood pressure?

Your blood pressure is high if the reading is higher than 140/90 mmHg, which is considered to put you at higher risk of having a heart attack or stroke (cardiovascular disease). That is, you have high blood pressure if the higher figure (systolic) is higher than 140, or the lower figure (diastolic) is higher than 90, or both.

This is also known as hypertension. More than one third of Australians over the age of 18 have high blood pressure.

If your blood pressure is below this figure, however, you are considered to have a reduced cardiovascular risk.

There are lower blood pressure targets of below 130/80 mmHg for people with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, kidney disease and other associated clinical conditions.

Why is your blood pressure important?

Your blood pressure is important because if it is too high, it affects the blood flow to your organs. Over the years, this increases your chances of developing heart disease, stroke, chronic kidney disease, eye disease, erectile dysfunction and other conditions.

Very occasionally, people with very high blood pressure are at serious risk of problems and need urgent treatment in hospital to reduce the risk of a stroke or heart attack.

Current Australian guidelines recommend that if you have persistent raised blood pressure over 160/100 mmHg, but are at low risk of having a stroke or heart attack, you should talk to your doctor or specialist about taking medication to lower your blood pressure.

For further information, visit the Choosing Wisely Australia website.

If you’re over 18, you should have your blood pressure checked by your doctor at least every 2 years, or more often if advised.

ARE YOU AT RISK? — Are you at risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease or kidney disease? Use our Risk Checker to find out.

What causes high blood pressure?

For most people, the cause of high blood pressure is not known. However, it is clear that various conditions and behaviour make high blood pressure more likely. These are known as risk factors and include:

• leading a sedentary lifestyle (with little or no exercise)
• smoking
• being overweight
• a diet with a high salt intake
• high blood cholesterol
• a family history of high blood pressure
• high alcohol consumption
• diabetes

In a few people, there is an identifiable cause, such as narrowing of the arteries to the kidney or some hormonal conditions.

What are the symptoms of high blood pressure?

Most people with high blood pressure have no symptoms, and feel quite well. This is why it’s important to see your doctor and have your blood pressure checked regularly, especially if you have one or more of the risk factors listed above.

A few people with very high blood pressure may experience headache, dizziness or the sudden effects of diseases of the arteries such as chest pain or stroke.

get advice on when to seek medical attention.

How is high blood pressure diagnosed?

Your blood pressure varies from day to day, even from moment to moment. Generally, if a person has a blood pressure reading taken on 3 separate occasions that is greater than 140/90 mmHg, they have high blood pressure. Your doctor may ask you to monitor your blood pressure at home, or wear a monitor over a 24-hour period, to see how it varies and to make sure they get an accurate reading.

What is the treatment for high blood pressure?

Mild high blood pressure can often be treated by making lifestyle changes, including:

• doing regular physical activity
• stopping smoking
• improving your diet to reduce salt, reduce fat and eat plenty of fruit and vegetables
• losing weight
• limiting your alcohol intake to no more than 2 drinks per day for men, or 1 drink per day for women with high blood pressure

However, lifestyle changes may not be enough. Some people also need medication to help reduce blood pressure levels to normal. While medicines are usually very effective at lowering blood pressure, they may cause side effects in some people.

Usually doctors will start a person on a low dose of a medicine and see how it goes. If it doesn’t work well enough, or if there are troublesome side effects, other medicines will be used, sometimes in combination, until the blood pressure is controlled. This can take time. Some people will take medicines for life, although others will find that continuing to lose weight and changing their diet reduces the need for medicines.

Someone whose blood pressure is very high or causing symptoms such as headache, or if they have conditions such as heart disease or diabetes, may need urgent treatment with medicines to bring the blood pressure down to normal levels.

The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners recommends that you regularly review with your doctor or specialist any medications you are taking for high blood pressure or high cholesterol to assess the ongoing benefits and risks. For further information, visit the Choosing Wisely Australia website.

Preventing high blood pressure

If you can follow a healthy diet, keep to a healthy weight and avoid smoking, you will reduce your chances of having high blood pressure.

New Blood Pressure Guidelines Raise Controversy

New blood pressure guidelines could be dangerous for some.

En español l It sounded like great news for thousands of older people: New blood pressure guidelines might free them from the anxiety of taking powerful medications to control their blood pressure, and the side effects those pills sometimes brought.

Subscribe to the AARP Health Newsletter

But almost immediately, several members of the panel of medical experts recommending the change strongly dissented and warned that the new guidelines could endanger some people.

The result has been confusion similar to that created late last year with the muddled rollout of new guidelines for using cholesterol-lowering statin drugs.

The controversy began when a panel of 17 national experts announced in December that, based on a five-year analysis of the best available research, the target for treating high blood pressure should be nudged a little higher for those age 60-plus and for those with diabetes or kidney disease. Its findings were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

However, five panel members disagreed and published a follow-up article in the Annals of Internal Medicine warning that the change could put more patients at risk for heart disease and stroke.

Do you think it’s okay to change these guidelines? Join the discussion

The American Heart Association has also resisted the change, saying that it could undermine recent progress in reducing deaths from these conditions.

“Hypertension is such a strong risk factor, especially if you have other diseases. This is not the time to loosen control over blood pressure,” says the group’s president, Mariell Jessup, M.D., medical director of the University of Pennsylvania’s heart and vascular center.

Guidelines from the previous panel in 2003 defined high blood pressure in older adults as 140/90 or above, meaning that’s the threshold for taking medication to bring those numbers down. (The top number represents the pressure inside the arteries when the heart beats, and the bottom number is the pressure between beats, when the heart rests.)

High blood pressure – hypertension

High blood pressure is when the pressure of your blood on your artery walls is abnormally high, potentially causing artery damage and health problems over the long term.

Known medically as hypertension, high blood pressure affects up to 1 in 5 New Zealanders and is a significant contributor to the incidence of heart disease and stroke. Nearly two-thirds of people admitted to hospital with a heart attack have high blood pressure. 

It is advisable, therefore, to have blood pressure measured regularly, such as during routine visits to your doctor. High blood pressure is preventable and treatable, through lifestyle changes and medications. 

General information

Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood from your heart to all parts of your body (veins are the blood vessels that carry your blood back to your heart). As blood travels from your heart it exerts pressure against the artery walls. A blood pressure reading is a measurement of this force and has two components:

• The higher number is the “systolic” reading and is the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats, forcing blood around the body. 
• The lower number is the “diastolic” reading and is the pressure in the arteries when the heart is relaxed after a beat.  

The New Zealand Heart Foundation says an ideal blood pressure for most people is 120/75 mmHg or less, while high blood pressure is when blood pressure is consistently around or above 140/90 mmHg. It is recommended that people with a history of heart disease, diabetes, or a high risk of heart attack or stroke, lower their blood pressure to less than 130/80 mmHg.

Blood pressure varies throughout the day in response to factors such as excitement, stress, and exercise. Blood pressure also increases with age, so what may be a normal blood pressure reading for someone in their 60’s may be considered abnormally high for someone in their 20’s.

Signs and symptoms

There are usually no signs and symptoms of hypertension until the condition has been present for a long time, causing damage to blood vessels and internal organs (particularly the heart and kidneys). 

In general, the longer high blood pressure is present and the higher it is, the more likely it is that damage will occur. People with prolonged hypertension are at greater risk of developing medical conditions such as: 

• Stroke
• Enlarged heart
• Heart attack
• Kidney failure
• Heart failure
• Aneurysm (a bulge in an artery wall which, if ruptured, can lead to serious internal bleeding)
• Damage to the retina of the eye.

Causes

In approximately 95% of cases there is no one specific cause of hypertension. This is referred to as “essential” hypertension. In the other 5% of cases hypertension is due to specific factors such as kidney disease or various gland disorders and is called “secondary” hypertension. With “secondary” hypertension, treating the underlying cause will often relieve high blood pressure.

Some people have a condition known as “white coat” hypertension. This is where the blood pressure goes up when they get it checked – usually due to anxiety. They may require 24-hour blood pressure monitoring to determine if they really do have hypertension or not.

Risk factors

It can be difficult to predict who will develop hypertension but there are various known risk factors for the condition, the most important of which is being overweight.

Known risk factors include: 

• Being overweight or obese
• Increasing age
• Inactive lifestyle
• Excessive alcohol intake (more than two standard drinks per day)
• Family history of hypertension
• Male gender (although female risk increases after menopause)
• A diet high in salt (sodium)
• Smoking
• Stress
• Excessive caffeine intake (eg: coffee, tea, and some soft drinks)
• Use of oral contraceptive medications
• Adrenal gland and thyroid disorders
• Use of illegal drugs, e.g. cocaine, amphetamines
• Certain chronic medical conditions, e.g. kidney disease, diabetes and sleep apnoea.

Diagnosis

For a diagnosis of hypertension to be made the blood pressure must be elevated for several readings over time. If blood pressure readings remain elevated your doctor may order blood tests, urine tests, an ECG (tracing of the heart’s electrical activity), a chest x-ray, and examine the blood vessels in the eye with a special light (ophthalmoscope). These tests assess for any damage already caused by the hypertension. 

Treatment

For cases of essential hypertension, treatment is aimed at controlling the hypertension and maintaining blood pressure at an acceptable level. In cases of secondary hypertension, treatment is aimed at identifying and treating the underlying cause as well as controlling the hypertension.

A decision as to whether or not to treat hypertension will depend on a number of factors including the patient’s age, the level of blood pressure, and other medical conditions and risk factors. 

In general, treatment of hypertension will focus on two main areas – lifestyle changes and medications. If your blood pressure is not significantly elevated the doctor may initially recommend lifestyle changes to lower the blood pressure. Your blood pressure will be regularly monitored for any improvement. However, if lifestyle changes alone do not adequately lower blood pressure within a 3- to 6-month period, then a combination of lifestyle changes and medications may be recommended.

Lifestyle changes: 

Medications: 

There are a wide variety of medications available to treat hypertension, all of which work in different ways. It may take some time to determine the right medication – one that lowers your blood pressure to a better level, but with minimal side effects. 

Some of the different classes of medications used to treat hypertension include: 

• Diuretics (e.g. bendrofluazide) work by removing excess water and sodium from the body in the form of urine. This decreases the volume of blood circulating around the body, helping to reduce blood pressure
• Beta-blockers (e.g. metoprolol) act on the nervous system to slow the heart rate, which puts less pressure on the heart, as well as helping to relax the blood vessels
• Calcium channel blockers (e.g. diltiazem) work by slowing the entry of calcium into the heart and blood vessel walls. This relaxes the blood vessels so they dilate (widen) and thus lower blood pressure
• Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (e.g. cilazapril) work by blocking the formation of a particular chemical in the blood called angiotensin. This helps to dilate blood vessel walls and reduce salt and water retention in the body and so decreases blood pressure
• Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) (e.g. losartan) work by blocking the action of angiotensin in the body, which relaxes blood vessels thus lowering blood pressure
• Vasodilators (e.g. hydralazine) relax the muscles in the walls of the blood vessels causing them to dilate and so reduce blood pressure. 

It is sometimes necessary to take more than one type of medication to effectively treat hypertension. Some of these medications may not be appropriate if other pre-existing medical conditions are present. For this reason, it is important to talk to your doctor about other medical conditions and any other medications being taken. 

It is also important to talk to your doctor about any side effects experienced whilst taking blood pressure medications (especially in the first few weeks) as either the dose or the medication may need to be altered. Side effects may include fatigue, cold hands and feet, cough, skin rash, impotence, and light-headedness.

It is often necessary for blood pressure medication to be taken on a long-term basis and it is important not to stop taking the medication without medical advice. It is also necessary for the blood pressure to be regularly monitored to assess the effectiveness of treatment.

Prevention

Lifestyle changes that reduce risk factors can reduce your risk of developing high blood pressure. Monitoring and early detection are also important.

It is generally recommended that men over 45 years of age and women over 55 years of age should have their blood pressure checked regularly. It is also recommended that the following groups of people have their blood pressure checked regularly:

How to Get High Blood Pressure Back to Normal After Exercise

Have your blood pressure checked by a health care professional or keep tabs on it at home using a portable unit.

Regular exercise is a key tool for maintaining a healthy blood pressure or, if you have high blood pressure, for lowering it. Yes, your blood pressure will increase during exercise, but that’s normal. Cooling down after you work out helps your blood pressure return to its normal state.

Read more: What Is Normal for Blood Pressure?

Healthy Blood Pressure Levels

The only way to determine whether you have low blood pressure, healthy blood pressure or high blood pressure is to have your blood pressure measured. You can do this by making an appointment with your doctor, going to a local pharmacy that has a digital blood pressure machine or by purchasing a blood pressure machine and testing it at home.

The American Heart Association says blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury and expressed as two numbers. A normal readers should be lower than 120 over 80.

Your blood pressure is considered elevated if the systolic (top number) is between 120 and 129 and the diastolic (bottom number) is less than 80. High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is when the top number is 130 to 139 or the bottom number is 80 to 89. That’s known as stage 1 hypertension.

Stage two occurs at 140 or higher for the top number or 90 or higher for the lower number. If your systolic blood pressure exceeds 180 or your diastolic pressure is higher than 120, that’s considered a hypertensive crisis.

How Exercise Affects Blood Pressure

Exercise and blood pressure are related. When you exercise, your heart gets stronger, which makes it easier for your heart to pump blood, thus lowering your blood pressure, explains the Mayo Clinic.

That makes it important to speak to your doctor before stopping any antihypertensive medication. If your blood pressure is already healthy, regular exercise can help it stay that way.

How much exercise is enough? Adults need at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise a week, or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise a week, according to the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Adults should also include strength training that covers all muscle groups two or more days each week.

Weight training can cause a spike in blood pressure, but the long-term benefits to healthy blood pressure far outweigh the temporary spike for most people, Mayo Clinic notes. If you have high blood pressure, remember these tips from Mayo when strength training:

• Avoid holding your breath while
  exercising. Doing so can cause dangerous spikes in your blood pressure. Breathe
  throughout your workout.
• Choose lighter weights rather than
  straining yourself with heavier ones. Stick to lighter weights with more
  repetitions rather than heavier weights with fewer repetitions.
• Watch out for these symptoms: dizziness,
  feeling severely out of breath, chest pain or pressure. If you feel any of
  these symptoms while exercising, stop immediately.

Blood Pressure After Exercise

Exercise causes a temporary increase in blood pressure due to your heart pumping faster to circulate blood and bring oxygen to your muscles. Your systolic blood pressure rises as a result.

“Blood pressure elevations are normal during exercise,” says Vijay Jotwani, MD, a sports medicine physician with Houston Methodist Specialty Physician Group. “The extent of increase in blood pressure and the timing of how long blood pressure stays elevated will depend on the intensity of exercise. A resting blood pressure number would ideally be taken two hours after stopping exercise, but in most cases, blood pressure will gradually normalize within 20 minutes of stopping exercise.”

To bring your blood pressure back to its normal levels, you’ll need to properly cool down after you exercise. If you stop abruptly, your blood pressure could drop drastically, making you feel sick or even making you pass out, according to the American Heart Association (AHA).

The AHA recommends walking or stretching to cool down. Walk for about five minutes or until your heart rate lowers to 120 beats a minute. Hold each stretch for 10 to 30 seconds. Breathe out as you get into your stretch, and breathe in and out liberally while holding the stretch. Your breathing will return to normal, your elevated heart rate will come back to its usual rhythm and your increased body temperature will start to return to normal.
