Join MCC Faculty Keepin' Healthy High blood pressure, or hypertension, has been termed a "silent killer" that "stalks one out of every seven Americans" and "sets them up for the big killers ....stroke, heart failure, kidney damage." But, when you get past all the cute terms and clever sayings, what is high blood pressure...what can it do to you...how can it be con­ trolled? In short, how much do you know about hyper­ tension? You already know it's a big problem in terms of the number of people affected - one out of seven adult Americans, But you may not know that about half the people who have it don't know they have it, as there are no symptoms. The idea that having a red face, or being "uptight" or nervous, are symptoms of high blood pressure, is just not so. High blood pressure causes no symptoms at all until there are com­ plications, like stroke, heart failure or kidney damage. Although health experts do not know all of the causes of hypertension, they do know that more than 90 percent of the people who suffer from high blood pressure have a predisposition, or in­ clination, to the condition because of inheritance, obesity, smoking habits, diabetes, kidney disease or other similar problems. As one doctor explained. "Just as you look like your mother and father on the outside, so you look like them on the inside. You have the same kind of blood vessels, and you have the same propensities." If you have high blood pressure, you must follow your doctor's orders. Although high blood pressure is a lifelong con­ dition. it is usually easy to treat. Medicine is usually prescribed, and you must continue to take it for the rest of your life. If your doctor prescribes a special diet, such as low- salt or low-calorie, it is because excess salt or overweight can aggravate the disease in a person who already has it. Many health experts believe that smoking causes damage to the blood vessels, which, in turn, causes the blood pressure to rise. The incidence of stroke or sudden death from heart attack in the hypertensive person who smokes is 16 times greater than that of the hypertensive person who doesn't smoke. Oral contraceptives also are known to be contributing factors in hypertension, and are probably a cause of the increased number of young women who suffer from the PAGE 9 - PLAIN DEALER - WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 24.1989 Hold Pioneer Craft Show Local area crafts people will be demonstrating their skills for the benefit of the public at the Lake County museum, Wauconda, Sun­ day, Oct. 12, from 1 to 4:30 p.m. The event is the eighth annual Pioneer Craft show to be sponsored by the Lake County Museum association, a volunteer museum assistance group. Various crafts to be demonstrated in the lobby and gallery of the museum will include Indian beadcraft disease. Women who take oral contraceptives should be sure to have their blood p r e s s u r e c h e c k e d frequently. So, what can you do about high blood pressure? First of all, have your blood pressure checked either by your doctor or one of the com­ munity health agencies who provide this service. There is no way your high blood pressure can be controlled if you don't know you have it. It can usually be controlled very simply by following your doctor's advice. But, first, it must be detected.
