what is Blood Pressure & Symptomsand

In Pre-hypertension, each heartbeat generates a force which is transferred to the blood. This force is carried through into the arteries as blood is expelled from the heart. The presure thus caused pushes against the walls of the arteries and the walls push back. This causes the blood to be propelled forward into various parts of the body.
On an average, the normal human heart beats almost 90,000 times every day.if the pressure of the blood is too high, a blood vessel could be damaged and even ruptured causing complications like bleeding. If the blood presure is not enough, the required amount of blood does not reach all the parts of the body, hence the cells do not receive the necessary amount of oxygen and nutrients and the waste products may not be removed adequately.
Symptoms
This disease can silently progress to ultimately develop into a stroke or a heart attack. Hence it is often referred to as the “Silent Killer” Hypertension can in fact be present for years and years without any sign if there are no symptoms and one does not undergo blood pressure screening periodically.
About 1% of patients suffering from high blood pressure are diagnosed with malignant hypertension on their first visit to the physician. These individuals sometimes have a diastolic blood presure (minimum pressure) over 140m Hg. Individuals affected with such high blood presure may often have nausea, severe headache, visual impairment, kidney failure and dizziness. A medical emergency like malignant hypertension requires urgent medical treatment to prevent stroke.
