High blood pressure is quite common among seniors, but that doesn’t mean it should be ignored or accepted as a natural part of aging. No matter what the age of the patient, high blood pressure can and should be managed. Blood Pressure: The What. High blood pressure is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: your blood goes through your arteries at a higher pressure than normal. This might not seem like such a big deal, but in order to pump the blood through at a higher pressure, the heart works harder than it needs to. This can lead to heart and kidney damage, as well as blood vessel damage throughout the body. The Why. So why does high blood pressure occur? First of all, not all high blood pressure is created equal. Often, high blood pressure is caused by a buildup of plaque in the arteries due to high cholesterol levels. Without as much space for the volume of blood to move through, the blood moves through with greater force. This is considered primary high blood pressure. Secondary high blood pressure is high blood pressure that is the result of another condition, such as a kidney or thyroid problem, or that occurs as a side effect from medication. Certain medications work by narrowing blood vessels, while others might cause fluid retention, which increases blood volume. Either way, high blood pressure may be the result. Treatment of high blood pressure will vary greatly person to person. Simple changes, like light daily exercise, losing weight, and eating a lower fat, lower-salt diet might be enough to get those numbers under control. Smoking or drinking should be avoided, since both can adversely affect blood pressure. And pay attention to your loved one’s stress level: feeling anxious has been shown to raise blood pressure. Lifestyle changes that lead to decreased blood pressure are always preferable, but if these don’t work quickly or well enough, or if the blood pressure is very high, medication may be prescribed. If the high blood pressure is due to a medication or underlying condition, switching the medication or treating the condition can be enough to take care of the problem. The How. How do you know if you or a loved one has high blood pressure? Often the only way to tell is to get it checked. High blood pressure often has no symptoms until blood vessels are damaged enough to cause a stroke, heart attack, or vision problem. Normal blood pressure is 120/80 or below. The first number in the reading is the blood pressure in the arteries during heartbeats, while the second number represents the pressure in the arteries between beats. Your loved one can check their blood pressure at home with a simple system available at pharmacies. Home checks can be a good idea for those who want to check their blood pressure more often, or for those who get anxious in the doctor’s office and receive abnormally high readings as a result. But be sure to get medical advice on which blood pressure monitor to purchase, and be sure you know how to use it correctly.

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 ?
