To Your Health A Service of McHenry Hospital rion Olsen Health Reporter "Watch Your Blood Pressure" is the name of a pamphlet written by Theodore Irwin for the 120-80 National Institutes of Health. ° Have you been watching your blood pressure? Isn't it about time you do? Many people take pride in their stoicism and wily seek medical assistance when they have pain. Yet, high Wood pressure is painless and often symptomless. It is quite possible to encounter the first symptom of high . blood pressure when you fall victim to a disabling or fatal stroke. With blood pressure screening available frequently at your local shopping centers, senior citizen centers and county fairs, there is no reason for anyone to avoid checking this very . important vital sign. , Blood pressure is the force exerted by your flowing blood against the walls of the arteries (blood vessels) thai carry blood from the heart to all parts of the body. The pumping action of the heart creates the force. When the heart beats, the pressure increases; when the heart relaxes between beats, the pressure goes down. The upper number in a blood pressure reading is the systolic reading of the heart in contraction. The lower number is the diastolic reading when the heart is relaxing between beats. A blood pressure reading of 120-80 is considered normal. People over 45 may show a slightly higher reading and still be considered normal. Since blood pressure Legal Notice NOTICE .

An extremely high reading may require immediate medical attention and could indicate a serious problem. The roots of hypertension (as chronic high blood pressure is called) lie in a number of factors although the actual cause is not known. Hypertension often runs in families; is noticable when a person is angry or fearful; and may be the result of body chemistry possibly due to poor kidney function, although current theories indicate that kidney problems are more the result than the cause of hypertension. Hight-fat diets and high-salt diets, toxic effects of renin secreted by the kidneys and a combination of any of these factors are all possible c o n t r i b u t o r s t o hypertension. Weight watching, low-salt diets, exercise, medications carefully supervised by your physician and constant monitoring are the current treatment methods. The important thing is to deal with hypertension, not ignore it.
