In Pakistan high blood pressure is a rapidly spreading disease
and one out of 5 adults over the age of 40 can have high blood
pressure. This is known as essential hypertension.
Hypertension is caused by inheritance (genetically developed
probles!" Ibalanced diet# especially a high salt diet"
obesity" lack of e$ercise" and in any cases e$cessive alcohol
consuption. % very sall nuber of people have
hypertension due to another disease. &idney function
probles# soe endocrine alfunctioning and soedrugs
(such as edicines for arthritis and birth control pills! can
becoe the reason for what is known as secondary
hypertension. 'econdary hypertension is best treated by
treating the root causes.
The long(ter effects of hypertension are heart diseases such
as heart attack# heart beat or rhyth ibalance# congestive
heart failure and stroke (Paralysis!. &idneyfailure can also be
the result of long(ter high blood pressure disease.
)ssential high blood pressure is one of the ost coon
probles aong adults in Pakistan and also in rest of the
world. This is due to the aging of the population and obesity
epideic.
*ow we coe to the coponents of blood pressure. The
systolic blood pressure is the highest pressure in the arteries
when the heart has contracted. The diastolic blood pressure is
the pressure on arteries when the heart rela$es. They are
easured in the unit called as Hg (for illieters of
ercury!. The definition of noral blood pressure that has
been agreed upon by a nuber of edical societies is a
nuber of easureents as following+
, *oral blood pressure+ systolic should be less than -.0
Hg and diastolic less than /0 Hg
, Prehypertension+ systolic pressure should be -.0(-01 Hg
or diastolic /0(/1 Hg
, Hypertension+
'tage -+ systolic pressure is -40(-51 Hg or diastolic 10(11
Hg
'tage .+ systolic pressure is e2ual to or greater than -30 or
diastolic e2ual to or greater than -00 Hg
The general treatent of high blood pressure should be such
as that the blood pressure reains below a systolic of -40
and a diastolic of 10. It is also taken care of that diastolic
blood pressures be kept above 35 Hg# because going below
that level can increase the risk of soe types of stroke#
especially aong old people.

% nuber of drugs are available in the arket to treat high
blood pressure. They have their own specific effects and
actions. 'oe are good for ild to oderate
hypertension" others are reserved for ore severe diseases.
'oe patients are in need of two or three drugs to control
their blood pressure. Interestingly# studies show that a great
nuber of people depend only on edicines to control
hypertension and usually lethargic to adopt a healthy life style
with e$ercise and balanced diet. It re2uires a edical
e$aination by a physician to diagnose high blood pressure
and is treated with edications that ust be taken every day
without lapse and soeties these edicines lower the 2uality
of life. 4octors also prescribe diuretic to force the patients to
urinate fre2uently and so their blood pressure coesdown by
doing so but 'oe patients are inconvenienced by having to
urinate fre2uently due to adiuretic# and also by constipation
due to a calciu channel blocker orby ipotence or by felling
lightheadedness due to an alpha or beta blocker.

'tress fro overwork and other conditions can increase blood
pressure and your retireent ay be helping to lower your
blood pressure. 5hanges in diet habits# weightloss and e$ercise
have also been acclaied to lower blood pressure and
decrease the need for hypertensive edication.

*ow a popular 2uestion+ that whether a person can give up
blood pressure and live healthy without edications once his
blood pressure is restored to a noral level by edicines# the
answer according to y opinion is that if a person had a ild
hypertension then this is 2uite possible that you gradually
increase the gap in doses and subse2uently give up the
edicines and adopt natural and balanced diet and take
regular e$ercise# but if you have a peranent stage .
hypertension then its notadvisable to giveup the edicines
without consulting your 2ualified physician as if you give up
the edicine and you face soe eergency then it can be
dangerous and soeties fatal. 'o if you want to give up the
edicines then do it according to the advice of your physician.
