Hypertension
Hypertension or high blood pressure occurs when the arteries are contracted or narrowed thus increasing resistance to blood flow through them. This makes the heart work harder to pump blood forcefully to start their journey through the body. If this condition is maintained for long periods can result in damage to the heart and arteries. It also increases the risk of stroke and heart failure, stroke (stroke), and kidney damage.
One characteristic of hypertension is usually causes no symptoms until there is a serious problem that can even be life threatening. For this reason hypertension is known as a silent murderer. When these symptoms may include nosebleed, arrhythmias, headache, blurred vision, dizziness, and tinnitus (abnormal sounds perceived in the ears or head). These symptoms usually occur only in severe cases. In diabetic patients blood pressure greater than 130/80 should be considered a risk factor and should be considered treatment.
Hypertension affects millions of people. Until the age of 55 more men than women with hypertension. However, thereafter the women begin to experience more of it than men. African-American descent People with this condition suffer more than other ethnic groups. Read the rest of this entry »

Why hypertension
Most of hypertension there is a cause that explains it, there is no illness behind. It is essential hypertension. And only one in 20 cases, there is the secondary hypertension, a symptom of kidney damage, adrenal gland tumors, coarctation of the aorta or dysfunction of the thyroid.
There are several factors that help the development of hypertension. Sometimes, the genetic component influences, hereditary. And with the old values increase blood pressure and hypertension cases. Obesity also weighs: 60% of hypertensive patients are obese. Alcohol also increases the tension. In some people, salt has a hypertensive effect.
The countries that consume too much salt or salty foods, have a high prevalence of hypertension. But at the individual behavior of stress is variable. A hypertensive salt are discouraged, and in some the decline occurs, but not always. Read the rest of this entry »

Causes of Hypertension
From this health blog already discussed in previous issues with hypertension, one of the concerns of today’s society. On this occasion we why problems occur. We analyze what are the main causes of hypertension.
Must start from the assumption that hypertension is a disease that affects more than 30% of the Spanish who are between 35 and 64, and this percentage increases with age, so it is worth trying to find why does this disease: what are the causes of hypertension.
We can say that they are root causes of obesity, hypertension and obesity, coupled with a genetic predisposition, which must always be taken into account. Similarly, there are other factors that influence hypertension such as age, as we saw before, or gender, as men, before age 55 are more likely to have hypertension, while more than 75 years women have more risk. Keep in mind what foods contraindicated.

Recommended Foods for Hypertension
Hypertension as we have said on many occasions is a disease that can trigger further care such as coronary heart diseases, that is why it is essential to always keep a check on it and follow the recommendations that will make its specialist.
As for food, a number of them must-haves in the diet of hypertensive and they have real properties that are totally healthy.
Such is the case of garlic, because it reduces the pressure and reduces cholesterol levels, which is very beneficial especially when consumed daily.

Complications Of Hypertension
Increasing the pressure over the maximum limits in damage in some organs, called target organ: the stretch of the vessel wall, overwork the heart muscle, abnormal renal of brain and eye.
It is shown that the longer the pressure remains high is the highest risk of complications. These changes result in:
* Thickening of the walls of the heart muscle (as if the muscle was subjected to “body building“) and this in turn can lead to problems of heart failure up to, or myocardial ischemia, until dalliance ’stroke.
* Alterations of cardiac structures, particularly the dilation of the aorta, initially up to mild aortic valve insufficiency.
Damage to roads due to the continuous stretching of their walls that causes two types of changes: small lesions of the inner cell layer, which opens the door to infiltration and the deposition of fat in the wall and then atherosclerosis; the reaction of the muscular layer thickening of the arteries in certain districts vascular tree.
In turn, these changes cause vascular damage in the structures that supply: the brain may reduce oxygenation of the nerve cells with their failure, to dementia, or cause the rupture of a vessel and lead to strokes, kidney to alter the function of this organ and thus the accumulation or loss in the urine of particular substances, to cause the lowering of the ocular view.
Risk Factors
Primary or essential hypertension, although not identified a precise cause, there are some factors that may support or enhance disease: risk factors. These fall into two categories: Read the rest of this entry »

What Causes Hypertension?
Hypertension affects roughly 20% of the adult population. Studies in France show that about 7 million of hypertensive subjects. High blood pressure can occur in children, but especially after 50 years as hypertension becomes common. After age 70, a subject on two was hypertensive.
Some population groups are at greater risk of hypertension in subjects with parental hypertension, obese subjects, black subjects, patients with diabetes, patients with kidney disease and patients with artery disease.
What causes hypertension?
In most cases, no cause is found appears when hypertension. Doctors call this illness essential hypertension. In some cases, hypertension may be due to kidney disease, a hyperfunction of the adrenal gland, or excessive rigidity of the arteries.

Floral Therapy and Arterial Hypertension
The research is part of an observational study referred to essential hypertension and the use of floral therapy in the treatment of the disease. We studied the population of 12 clinics Polyclinic “Alcides Pino Bermudez” Holguín municipality in the period from April 2, 2001 to May 31, 2002, by a purposive sampling to obtain a specific sample and thus realize a case study.
Initially the population was all patients given health area 9651 diagnosed hypertensive patients over 15 years of which were selected from among 464 essential hypertensive patients with hypertension including 27 for “work stress”, which did not accept the disease and / or drug treatment did not engage in a disciplined, presented with psychological manifestations. (After assessment with the cardiologist and the clinician).
The diagnosis of hypertension
The diagnosis of hypertension is carried out using an apparatus that measured in a column of mercury, or digital devices. The reading is expressed in mm HG. The normal range and those that represent disease are:
Diastolic pressure below 85 mm HG Normal.
Diastole pressure of 85-89 High normal.
Diastolic pressure of 90-104 mild hypertension.
Diastolic pressure 105-114 moderate hypertension.
Diastolic pressure above 114 Severe hypertension
The above classification is roughly as normal pressure changes according to age.
Systolic pressure below 140 Normal.
Systolic pressure of 140-159 in the limit of Hypertension.
Systolic pressure above 160 systolic hypertension.
To complement the diagnosis must carry out a physical examination and analysis of changes in the retina that indicate high blood pressure, blood tests (to indicate the functioning of the thyroid and adrenal glands) and urine, electrocardiogram, and chest X rays, the above to determine whether hypertension is essential hypertension or secondary type.

Essential Hypertension Symptoms
Most patients have no symptoms and that does not mean that you can trust. A very important fact is that you can have high blood pressure and not know why it is called “the silent killer.”
Most of the deaths that occur each year are a direct result of hypertension or its complications on the cardiovascular or kidney.
The symptoms that characterize acute ETS are anxiety, dizziness, fatigue and headache. If blood pressure is serious symptoms that may occur are confusion, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, blurring of vision (blurred vision or vision of lights), ringing in the ears, nose bleeding, sweating, numbness of half of body, dizziness upon standing or changing position and breathing.
What is essential hypertension?
HTN (hypertension) is the increase in BP (blood pressure) to 140/90 mm Hg or more. Whether hypertension is the fact that acquiring blood pressure beyond the normal or desired to maintain health.
What causes it?
The mechanism of hypertension “essential”, “Primary” or “idiopathic.” There are other types of hypertension, which can be clearly identified and its underlying cause are called secondary hypertension. Thus, some kidney diseases are accompanied hypertension (renal hypertension), excessive function of some endocrine glands originate elevation of blood pressure by increasing the production of mineralocorticoids (hyperaldosteronism) or catecholamines (pheochromocytoma).
In essential hypertension have not yet described its specific causes, but has been linked with a number of factors that are usually present in most patients. Hence you have to separate those related to inheritance, sex, age and race, which are hardly modifiable, those that could be changed by varying habits, environment and customs of people, such as obesity, sodium sensitivity, excessive alcohol consumption, oral contraceptive use and a sedentary lifestyle.
