    What is Hypertension?
    hypertension
    - is a sustained systolic blood pressure of
    140 mmHg or more and sustained Diastolic
    Blood Pressure of 90 mmHg or more in at
    least 2 visits at 1 week interval. (JNC 7)
    Often called the “SILENT KILLER” that
    usually causes no symptoms until it
    reaches a life-threatening stage.

    Risk factors:

    People with

    history of
    hypertension
    are twice at
    risk than those
    with no
    history.

    OBESITY
    Risk for hypertension is two times greater
    among overweight /obese compared to
    people of normal weight and three times
    more than that of underweight persons
    EXCESSIVE ALCOHOL INTAKE
    Regular consumption of three or
    more drinks per day increased
    risk of hypertension.
    Systolic pressures were more
    markedly affected than diastolic
    pressures.
    Smoking

    Cigarette smoking elevates the blood


    pressure level by 5 to 10 mm Hg during the
    day. The first cigarette of the day has this
    particular effect on the smoker's body. It
    has been found by a study that cigarette
    smoking increases the systolic blood
    pressure count by at least 20 mm Hg
    prevention

    1. Shed those extra


    pounds and
    move a little
    • Brisk walking for
    30 to 45 minutes
    three times each
    week.

    Treatment
    Thiazide diuretics. Diuretics,
    sometimes called "water pills,"
    are medications that act on
    your kidneys to help your
    body eliminate sodium and
    water, reducing blood
    volume.

    Beta blockers. These


    medications reduce the
    workload on your heart and
    open your blood vessels,
    causing your heart to beat
    slower and with less force.

    Calcium channel blockers. These medications
    help relax the muscles of your blood vessels.
    Some slow your heart rate. A word of caution
    for grapefruit lovers, though. Grapefruit juice
    interacts with some calcium channel blockers,
    increasing blood levels of the medication and
    putting you at higher risk of side effects.

    Renin inhibitors. Aliskiren (Tekturna) slows down


    the production of renin, an enzyme produced by
    your kidneys that starts a chain of chemical steps
    that increases blood pressure.
    Alpha blockers. These
    medications reduce nerve
    impulses to blood vessels,
    reducing the effects of natural
    chemicals that narrow blood
    vessels.

    Alpha-beta blockers. In
    addition to reducing nerve
    impulses to blood vessels,
    alpha-beta blockers slow the
    heartbeat to reduce the
    amount of blood that must be
    pumped through the vessels.
