Diagnosis
Finding out whether a person is hypertensive or not is quite simple. One just needs to have
his/her blood pressure checked by a healthcare professional. Reading is given in two numbers
higher (systolic) and lower (diastolic) one over the other. While systolic reading indicates the
pressure while heart is beating and how hard it has to beat to get blood moving, the diastolic
reading indicates the pressure when heart is at rest between beats. For adults, in general, reading
of less than 140/90 (systolic/diastolic), is considered normal, but anything equal to or above this
needs attention. Depending upon the pressure and its consistency, you physician can put you on
appropriate blood pressure-lowering medications. One can also battle hypertension via exercise,
diet, and lifestyle changes.

Learn to Relax
Try to stay as calm, cool, and contented as possible. Meditation, yoga, biofeedback, and massage
can help a great deal to relax. Even taking out time for rest is an important component of
treatment. People who are stressed release a lot of adrenaline into their systems, which can
constrict the arterioles, causing them to go into spasm. This makes it difficult for the heart to push
the blood through constricted arterioles, which ultimately results in high blood pressure.
Quit Smoking
Nicotine in cigarette causes the blood pressure to rise to a level to put you at risk of a stroke.
Also, cigarette smoking thickens the blood and increases its propensity to clot a condition which
can lead to cardiac arrest. A study showed that within two years of quitting smoking, your risk of
developing coronary artery disease drops as low as that of a nonsmoker. Efforts to quit can be
started by using a nicotine patch or nicotine gum.
Be Stable
To keep hypertension in control, it is very essential to be emotionally stable. Hypertensive patients
should avoid overstraining, worrying, tension, anger, haste, and other similar feelings. A person
should develop a calm, cheerful, and contented attitude.
