Get the facts about high blood pressure Chances are, you or someone you know has high blood pressure. In fact, one in every three Americans has high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. Another 30 percent have pre-hypertension, or blood pressure numbers that are higher than normal, but not yet in the high blood pressure range. The World Health Organization has identified hypertension as the leading cause of cardiovascular deaths in the world. In addition to the negative health implications, the condition impacts health care costs as well. The American Heart Association estimates that the direct and indirect costs of high blood pressure to be $76.6 billion dollars annually. Although the topic of high blood pressure is so frequently discussed, many do not fully understand what it is and how it can be harmful. Hypertension is considered a chronic medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is consistently elevated. The increased pressure of blood flowing through the arteries damages the cells of the arteries’ inner lining, which can set up a chain of medical problems. People with hypertension can have no physical symptoms and can go untreated for a long time, during which it can quietly damage major organs in the body. Left untreated, hypertension can do damage to heart, arteries, kidneys, eyes and even the brain. Generally, hypertension is detected during a screening from your health care professional. Often called “the silent killer,” even a mildly high blood pressure is associated with shortened life expectancy. Since your heart pumps the blood throughout your entire body, high blood pressure can really take a toll on this crucial organ. Over time, if the blood pressure remains elevated it can lead to heart failure. In addition, high blood pressure is directly linked to an increase risk developing blockages in the blood vessels (arteries) that supply blood to the heart. This can cause chest pain, shortness of breath and even result in a heart attack. If left unchecked, the side effects of high blood pressure can be fatal. Although high blood pressure is more likely to occur as you get older, it is not necessarily associated with age alone. Environmental and lifestyle factors also are responsible for developing the condition. Obesity, sodium and fat consumption, lack of exercise, smoking and alcohol consumption all contribute to the development of high blood pressure. This all sounds pretty scary. But, the good news is that high blood pressure is manageable with lifestyle changes or medications. It starts with diagnosis. That’s why it’s important to have your blood pressure checked regularly by a health care professional. Weight loss through a heart-healthy diet low in sugar and saturated fats, increasing exercise and quitting bad habits can all help reduce, or even eliminate high blood pressure and extend life expectancy considerably.

यस्ता छन् जानौ उच्च रक्तचापका कारणहरू मुटुबाट रक्तसञ्चार हुने बेलामा धमनीको भित्तामा पर्ने दबाबलाई रक्तचाप भनिन्छ । माथिको रक्तचापलाई ‘सिस्टोलिक’ र तलको रक्तचापलाई ‘डायस्टोलिक’ भनिन्छ । सिस्टोलिक’ र ‘डायस्टोलिक’ दुबै रक्तचाप शरीरको लागि उत्तिकै महत्वपूर्ण मानिन्छन् । सामान्य रक्तचाप १२०/ ८० भन्दा कम हुनपर्छ । उच्च रक्तचाप भन्नाले माथिको १४० वा सो भन्दा बढी र तलको ९० वा सो भन्दा बढी भएको अवस्थालाई भनिन्छ । रक्तचाप विभिन्न कारणले गर्दा सामान्य भन्दा बढि हुनसक्छ । मोटोपना, मुटुको रोग, उच्च कोलेस्ट्रोल, तनाव आदि कारणले गर्दा रक्तचाप उच्च हुन्छ । रक्तचाप उच्च हुनु स्वास्थ्यका लागि हानिकारक हुन्छ । तर नियमित व्यायाम गर्ने र चिल्लो पदार्थ तथा सोडियम लवणको सेवन कम गर्ने हो भने रक्तचापलाई नियन्त्रणमा राख्न सकिन्छ । उच्च रक्तचापबाट पिडित भएका मानिसहरूको संख्या दिनानुदिन बढीरहेको छ । यसले गर्दा हृदयघात तथा अन्य समस्याबाट मानिस धेरै पिडित बनिरहेको छ । सामान्य कुराहरु विचार गर्न नसक्दा हृदयघात तथा अन्य मुटु रोगको कारण उच्च रक्तचापले दु:ख दिने गरेको छ । यस्ता छन् जानौ उच्च रक्तचापका कारणहरू यस प्रकार छन् । १. नुनको बढी प्रयोग शरिरमा आवश्यक पर्ने नुनको मात्रा भन्दा बढी नुन प्रयोग गर्नाले पनि उच्च रक्तचापको सम्भावनालाई बढाउँछ । नुनमा रहेको सोडियमले रक्तचापलाई बढाउन मद्दत गर्छ । सकेसम्म ठिक्क मात्रामा नुनको प्रयोग गर्नु स्वास्थ्यका लागी फाइदा जनक हुन्छ । २. मोटोपन मानिसको मोटोपनले पनि उच्च रक्तचापको सम्भावनालाई बढाउँछ । मोटो मानिसको शरिरमा रहने बोसोको मात्राले शरिरका धमनीलाई कसिलो बनाउँछ जसले गर्दा शरिरमा रगतको प्रवाह आफ्नै गतिले हुन पाउँदैन र यसले रक्तचापको सम्भावना निम्त्याउँछ । ३. रक्सीको प्रयोग बढी रक्सी पिउने मानिसलाई पनि रक्तचापले चाडै थला पार्न सक्छ । ४. तनावपूर्ण जीवन उच्च रक्तचाप बढाउने अर्को कारण हो तनाव । जति धेरै तनाव त्यतिनै उच्च रक्तचापको समस्या हुने गर्छ । ५. वंशानुगत गुण मानिसको वंशाणुगत गुणले कारण पनि उच्च रक्तचापको सम्भावना रहन्छ । परिवारमा पहिले देखी नै कोही उच्च रक्तचापको रोगी छ भने नयाँ पुस्तामा पनि सर्ने सम्भावना उत्तिकै हुन्छ । ६. उमेर मानिसको उमेरसँगै रक्तचापको सम्भावना पनि बढ्दै जान्छ । जब मानिस बृद्ध अवस्थामा पुग्छ उच्च रक्तचापको जोखीम झन् बढ्न जान्छ । बृद्ध अवस्थामा पुगेका मानिसको धमनीहरूको कडा हुँदै जाँदा उच्च रक्तचापको मात्रालाई बढाउने गर्छ । ७. लिङ्ग पुरूषलाई बढी उच्च रक्तचापको खतरा हुन्छ । यो पनि पढ्नुहोस् मानिसलाई रिंगटा के कारणले लाग्छ ?
