Home Remedy for High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is also known as hypertension. In the US alone high blood pressure affects around 25% of the adult population, many of them under the age of forty.
The measurement of the force of which the heart pumps blood round the body is known as blood pressure. Hypertension is when the blood is being pumped too hard round the body, if this is not checked and corrected it can lead to heart and kidney problems or a stroke.
Blood pressure levels can be measured by using an inflatable upper-arm band which is known as a sphygmomanometer. A health professional will listen to you blood pressure with a stethoscope while changing the pressure of the arm band, restricting the flow in the arteries. If you are stressed, worried, afraid, or have recently exercised- your reading may come out higher than it actually is, so it is preferable to have a reading taken when you are calm.
