It (that is HPT or high blood pressure), manifests itself in a constant
and chronically elevated blood pressure. Too high and too unhealthy
for comfort or to be ignored.
Some also refer to it as ‘arterial hypertension’. It is a silent killer for
the most part, especially when going undiagnosed and untreated. It
has the highest inherent risk and/or causality, contributory factor
rate for/of heart attack or stroke, than any other disease.
If the condition persists over time, it is one of the major concerns for
medical conditions like
Strokes
heart attacks
heart failure
arterial aneurysm
chronic renal failure
headaches
vomiting
visual impairment
blindness
convulsions
paralysis
coma
… And many others... EVEN DEATH!
Types of Hypertension
There are TWO classes or types of Hypertension for medical
diagnoses. Doctors often refer to as essential (primary) HPT or
secondary HPT.
3. Hypertension: (HPT) Reduce Your Risk of Heart Attack Naturally
According to online sources and medical dictionaries, classifications
and expert opinion…
Essential hypertension entertains no specific medical cause for
the condition to manifest.
Secondary hypertension means that there is a causal or
contributory cause, explanation, underlying issue that results in
the high blood pressure. Some examples may include kidney
disease or certain tumors.
What is normal and/or considered High Blood pressure, HPT?
We all have it! There is no escaping it. You need it – BLOOD
PRESSURE! It is an essential medical and system requirement of/for
life. Blood circulated through your body to keep it running, taking
oxygen, nutrients where it is needed and belongs. You need to know
and understand how your body and blood pressure works, in order to
keep it within optimal, balanced levels.
For your blood pressure to be NORMAL is not ONE reading. Let us be
clear about that – it is and indicates values, readings falling into a
range of metrics and readings. Blood pressure is typically what we
refer to when we are talking about the force that is required in your
veins/arteries to move your blood, when the heart beats and when
the heart rests. These two reading make up your blood pressure level
readings, higher and lower readings, systolic and diastolic.
Millimeters of Mercury or mmHg is the metric used.
There is an official Joint National Committee on Prevention,
Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure) and
the scales they use and recommend for public health and medical
practitioners, have recently been updated and changed to reflect
healthier living levels and actually lower readings as the ideal or

normal range to ensure optimal health and well-being.
Earlier, before these changes took effect, typically the standards for
‘normal’ blood pressure ranges held firm, in the vicinity of 120/80
mmHg, with readings higher, between and to 139/89 mmHg as
"pre-hypertension." Or diagnosis at-risk for/of developing the
disease.
These scales and tools help us to identify and diagnoses early, those
at high or increasing risk of developing hypertension, monitor
existing patients and more.
Other groups and advocates in the field, like The Mayo Clinic
suggests - in line with some of the most recent trends - (still lower
rates of healthy blood pressure), that even 115/75 mm Hg should be
the rule of thumb most of us should be living by, striving for and
getting to.
If you do suffer from some kidney or liver disease or a weakened
immune-system for example and get diagnosed with 130/80 mmHg,
you will be treated as ‘high risk’, even if this was seen as borderline
diagnosis before. If you have readings in this range, it actually
warrants treatment. Be sure to discuss these and recent BP readings
that you might have received at your last check-up or round of
medical tests, procedures with your team of medical, health and
wellness professionals. Your medical well-being, care team.
Many patients these days are taking on a more pro-active role in
measuring, knowing, lowering and monitoring their own blood
pressure. There are numerous tools at your disposal, from
instruments in retail outlets and/or pharmacies, to home blood
pressure monitoring devices. Choice and empowered hands-on
management is advisable for you to get the best results managing,
living with, lowering and even maintaining a healthy blood pressure

(whatever for you individually it might be!). You can see your blood
pressure as an indicator of your heart-health. As you heart pumps
blood through your body, forces and pressure are created, measured
and this gives us a window into our bodies and tells us, like a
barometer how we are doing in the health department.
Here are some fast and disturbing, alarming and REAL facts about
high blood pressure:
IT IS A SILENT KILLER - High blood pressure (hypertension) killed
46,765 Americans in 2001 and has been creeping steadily higher as
we have grown more and more obese as a nation.
IT IS DEADLY AND NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY, DISMISSED,
IGNORED OR UNDERESTIMATED. IT KILLS! It was listed as a primary
or contributing cause of death in about 251,000 U.S. deaths in 2000
IT IS PRESENT IN LARGE NUMBERS, ACROSS AGE-GROUPS,
GENERATIONS; GENDER AND ESCALATING As many as 50 million
Americans age 6 and older have high blood pressure
One in five Americans (and one in four adults) has high blood
pressure
MOST DO NOT EVEN KNOW THEY HAVE IT – as much as 30% do not
know that they suffer from HBP
More than a 10th of people who have the condition are not on
medication or doing anything special to treat their condition
Very few HPT, HBP sufferers are not following a special diet or taking
drugs
Up to 25 percent of sufferers and patients (diagnosed and not), are
doing all they can to get better, including healthier alternatives,
exercise and the like. Less than ONE third of patients have a holistic,
personalized treatment and therapy, whole-health, natural solution
and are just treating symptoms or taking prescription medications
In up to 95% of the diagnosed cases the causes elude us; they
remain unknown for the most part
6. Hypertension: (HPT) Reduce Your Risk of Heart Attack Naturally
HPT or high blood pressure is and can be easily detected and usually
is controllable with minimal effort, intervention, lifestyle changes,
healthy balanced living, the right foods, habits, exercise and
