3 ORIGIN When your heart beats, it pumps blood round your body to give it the energy and oxygen it needs. As the blood moves, it pushes against the sides of the blood vessels. The strength of this pushing is your blood pressure. More is the push, more the pressure on blood vessels, high is the BP and vice versa.

4 High blood pressure Or HBP (hypertension) Hypertension, also referred to as high blood pressure (HBP), is a condition in which the arteries have persistently elevated blood pressure. Every time the human heart beats, it pumps blood to the whole body through the arteries. The normal level for blood pressure is below 120/80, where 120 represents the systolic measurement (peak pressure in the arteries) and 80 represents the diastolic measurement (minimum pressure in the arteries). Blood pressure between 120/80 and 139/89 is called prehypertension (to denote increased risk of hypertension), and a blood pressure of 140/90 or above is considered hypertension.

5 Low blood pressure OR LBP (hypotension) Hypotension is low blood pressure(lbp), especially in the arteries of the systemic circulation. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood. A low blood pressure reading is having a level that is 90/60mmHg, or lower. Only one of the numbers has to be lower than it should be to count as low blood pressure. In other words,if the top number is 90 or less (regardless of the bottom number) this may be low blood pressure and if the bottom number is 60 or less (regardless of the top number) this may be low blood pressure.

6 BP SIGNAL!!!

7 HBP : It s REASONS The exact causes of high blood pressure are not known, but several factors and conditions may play a role in its development, including: Smoking Being overweight or obese Lack of physical activity Too much salt in the diet Too much alcohol consumption (more than 1 to 2 drinks per day) Stress Older age Genetics Family history of high blood pressure Chronic kidney disease Adrenal and thyroid disorders

8 LBP : It s REASONS The cause of low blood pressure isn't always clear. It may be associated with the following: Pregnancy Hormonal problems such as an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), diabetes, or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) Some over-the-counter medications Some medicines prescribed for high blood pressure, depression or Parkinson s disease Heart failure Heart arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms) Widening, or dilation, of the blood vessels Heat exhaustion or heat stroke Liver disease

9 What Causes a Sudden Drop in Blood Pressure? Sudden drops in blood pressure can be lifethreatening. Causes of this type of hypotension include: Loss of blood from bleeding Low body temperature High body temperature Heart muscle disease causing heart failure Sepsis, a severe blood infection Severe dehydration from vomiting, diarrhea, or fever A reaction to medication or alcohol

10 H-BP and it s threats : Doctors have long called high blood pressure the silent killer because a person can have high blood pressure and never have any symptoms. If left untreated, high blood pressure can lead to life-threatening medical problems such as stroke, heart attack or kidney failure. High blood pressure is one of the most common causes of stroke because it puts unnecessary stress on blood vessel walls, causing them to thicken and deteriorate, which can eventually lead to a stroke. It can also speed up several common forms of heart disease. When blood vessel walls thicken with increased blood pressure, may break off of artery walls and block a brain artery. In other instances, the increased stress can weaken blood vessel walls, leading to a vessel breakage and a brain haemorrhage.

11 L-BP and it s threats : Low blood pressure(lbp) is generally not a problem for your health. In fact, it provides protection against heart and kidney diseases as well as conditions related to high blood pressure such as heart attacks and strokes. Low blood pressure is fine as long as it s not excessively low so that you feel the symptoms, in which case there may be a risk of damage to your organs. People who have so-called poor circulation symptoms (e.g. cold fingers and toes) probably have low blood pressure since it indicates that pressure is insufficient to send enough blood to distant parts of your body. However, these poor circulation symptoms are very common and you shouldn t worry about them at all. You should consult a doctor if you suffer from dizziness, fainting, serious dehydration (thirst) and excessively pale skin or fatigue.

12 HOW TO PREVENT HBP??? Exercising 30 to 60 minutes a day can help bring down your blood pressure numbers by 4 to 9 mmhg DASH Diet : The DASH diet consists of eating fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, low-fat dairy, lean meats, and fish. Eliminate foods high in saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol, such as processed foods, whole milk dairy products, fatty meats, and fried food. If you have high blood pressure, keeping your sodium intake to a minimum is vital. limiting your sodium intake to less than 1,500 mg of sodium a day. That s a little over half a teaspoon. Weight and blood pressure go hand in hand. The extra fat around your waist, called visceral fat, is troublesome because the fat tends to surround organs in the abdomen, which can lead to high blood pressure. Asian men are at risk if their waist measurement is greater than 36 inches (91 cm). Asian women are at risk if their waist measurement is greater than 32 inches (81 cm). People with high blood pressure who smoke are at greater risk for developing dangerously high blood pressure by taking alcohol, fagging or even from stress. Lastly, refer to a doctor and be under medical supervision.

14 HOW TO PREVENT LBP??? Eat a diet higher in salt. Drink lots of non-alcoholic fluids Limit alcoholic beverages. Get regular exercise to promote blood flow. Be careful when rising from lying down or sitting. Before standing up, rotate your feet and ankles a few times. This exercise will help you to improve circulation. Then proceed slowly. When getting out of bed, sit upright on the edge of the bed for a few minutes before standing. Avoid prolonged exposure to hot water, such as hot showers and spas. If you get dizzy, sit down. It may be helpful to keep a chair or stool in the shower in case you need to sit; to help prevent injury, use a nonslip chair or stool designed for use in showers and bath tubs. To avoid problems with low blood pressure and lessen episodes of dizziness after meals, try eating smaller, more frequent meals. Cut back on carbohydrates. Take rest after eating. Avoid taking drugs to lower blood pressure before meals.

15 SASTA SUNDAR KE PITAARE SE FOR HBP patients: Garlic capsule once a day can also lower your blood pressure Mix half onion juice with half honey and drink two tablespoons once a day, for two weeks Brown rice ( contains calcium) in diet along with a boiled potato. Take 30 to 40 grams of curry leaves every day to lower your blood pressure. Carrots and spinach are good for a lot of things. Extract the juice from a carrot and a spinach and drink a glass of it twice a day. Drink a glass of raw beetroot juice every day to help lower blood pressure. Eat a papaya fruit once a day on an empty stomach to help lower blood pressure and keep it under control. Do not eat anything for two hours after you eat the papaya. Eat one lemon every day or drink lemon juice or lemonade to help lower blood pressure. Lemon, like vinegar and baking soda, helps cure a lot of ailments and is a great source of Vitamins. Grapefruit, like lemons is another great food to eat every day to help lower blood pressure. Eat one grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice every day to keep your blood pressure under control.

16 SASTA SUNDAR KE PITAARE SE FOR LBP patients: Soak 32 small raisins in a ceramic bowl full of water over night. Chew them one by one first thing in the morning. Chew well and drink the water also. Soak 7 almonds in water over night. Peel them and grind to a smooth paste. Add in a glass of milk and boil. Drink warm. Crush holy basil leaves (tulsi) and strain through a clean muslin cloth. Mix with 1 tsp honey. Have it the first thing in the morning. Eat frequently in portions.
