Consequences Of High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure, or hypertension, rarely has noticeable symptoms. But if untreated or uncontrolled, it increases your risk of serious problems such as heart attacks and strokes.

General Monitoring Blood Pressure

Having to monitor your blood pressure regularly at home is an important step in managing high blood pressure.

No matter what type of blood pressure monitor you choose for home use, it may take some training and practice before you learn how to use it correctly.

Make sure to do the following:

1- Measure your blood pressure twice daily.
2- Avoid food, beverages containing caffeine (tea or coffee), cigarettes or exercising for 30 

    minutes before taking a reading.
3- Empty your bladder before taking a reading.
4- Sit straight on chair.
5- Place the cuff on your bare arm.
6- Sit quietly before and during monitoring.
7- Take another reading 1 to 3 minutes after the first reading to check accuracy. If you notice 

     unusual or persistent increase in your blood pressure, consult with your doctor.

Tekanan Darah Tinggi (Hipertensi) : Memahami Bacaan BP Anda

Adakah anda mempuyai skor jantung yang sihat

Tekanan darah tingi (Hipertensi)

Apakah Yang Anda Perlu Tahu?

Tekanan darah tinggi (BP) dikenali sebagai hipertensi. Ia ditakrifkan sebagai peningkatan dalam bacaan sistolik BP (TDS) ≥130 mmHg dan/atau diastolik BP (TDD) ≥80 mmHg.
Tekanan darah kita direkodkan dalam dua bacaan:

Tekanan darah sistolik (bacaan pertama) - menunjukkan tahap tekanan darah kepada dinding arteri anda semasa jantung dalam fasa mengepam darah.

Tekanan darah diastolik (bacaan kedua) - menunjukkan tahap tekanan darah kepada dinding arteri anda semasa jantung dalam fasa berehat antara denyutan.

Kesan BP yang tinggi tidak dikawal 

1) Sakit dada, juga dikenali sebagai angina
2) Serangan jantung, berlaku apabila bekalan darah ke jantung tersumbat dan sel otot  

    jantung mati akibat kekurangan oksigen. Semakin lama aliran darah terhalang, semakin 

    teruk kerosakan kepada jantung

3) Kegagalan jantung, berlaku apabila jantung tidak mampu mengepam darah dan oksigen

    yang mencukupi kepada organ penting yang lain.
4) Denyutan jantung tidak sekata, boleh menyebabkan kematian mengejut

High Blood Pressure : What You Need To Know

High blood pressure (also referred to as hypertension) is a “silent killer” – people tend to overlook them as most of the time there are no obvious symptoms. 

When left untreated, the damage that high blood pressure does to your circulatory system is a significant contributing factor to heart attack, stroke and other health threats. Here is a simple guide to blood pressure reading and understanding the BP numbers.

Stroke & High Blood Pressure

Uncontrolled high blood pressure can cause problems by damaging and narrowing the blood vessels in your body. 

Over time, this raises the risk of a blood vessel becoming blocked due to a clot or bursting and bleeding into the brain. If you have recently had a stroke, managing your blood pressure can help to prevent future recurrence.

What Your Blood Pressure Numbers Mean
