High Blood Pressure

There are certain people who are at a higher risk of developing high blood pressure than others.

Your age, family history, alcohol intake and weight are also contributing factors. Smoking has been found to dramatically increase the likely-hood of high blood pressure and its associated symptoms. However, it is important to remember that anyone can be affected by high blood pressure.

Many individuals who suffer from high blood pressure never know it until they visit the doctor for a regular check-up. This is because the symptoms are often not obvious to the sufferer or can only be felt when the individual exerts him/herself. However in severe cases of high blood pressure the following symptoms may occur: dizziness, headache, fatigue, nervousness, abnormal perspiration, leg cramps, weakness in the body and difficulty breathing.

Implementing lifestyle changes can effectively treat and lower high blood pressure. Firstly, diet is extremely important. Avoiding foods, which are high in salt/sodium, sugar and oil while increasing the intake of food containing calcium magnesium and potassium will already harbor some results.
