What are the signs and symptoms of high blood pressure? - answer- high blood pressure usually
has no warning signs or symptoms, and many people do not know they have it. Measuring your
blood pressure is the only way to know whether you have high blood pressure
What causes high blood pressure? - answer- high blood pressure usually develops over time. It
can happen because of unhealthy lifestyle choices, such as not getting enough regular physical
activity. Certain health conditions, such as diabetes and having obesity, can also increase the risk
for developing high blood pressure. High blood pressure can also happen during pregnancy.
What problems does high blood pressure cause? - answer- high blood pressure can damage
your health in many ways. It can seriously hurt important organs like your heart, brain, kidneys,
and eyes.
,Heart attack and heart disease - answer- high blood pressure can damage your arteries by
making them less elastic, which decreases the flow of blood and oxygen to your heart and leads to
heart disease. In addition, decreased blood flow to the heart can cause:
Chest pain, also called angina.
Heart attack, which happens when the blood supply to your heart is blocked and heart muscle
begins to die without enough oxygen. The longer the blood flow is blocked, the greater the damage
to the heart.
Heart failure, a condition that means your heart can't pump enough blood and oxygen to your other
organs.
Stroke and brain problems re: htn - answer- high blood pressure can cause the arteries that
supply blood and oxygen to the brain to burst or be blocked, causing a stroke. Brain cells die during
a stroke because they do not get enough oxygen. Stroke can cause serious disabilities in speech,
movement, and other basic activities. A stroke can also kill you.
Having high blood pressure, especially in midlife, is linked to having poorer cognitive function
and dementia later in life. Learn more about the link between high blood pressure and dementia

Kidney disease increased risk - answer- adults with diabetes, high blood pressure, or both have
a higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease than those without these conditions.
Prevent or manage high blood pressure? - answer- many people with high blood pressure can
lower their blood pressure into a healthy range or keep their numbers in a healthy range by making
lifestyle changes.
, -getting at least 150 minutes of physical activity each week (about 30 minutes a day, 5 days a
week)

taken. T as many as 1 in 3 people who have a high blood pressure reading at the doctor's office

--what you ate, drank, or did before your reading. If you smoked, drank alcohol or caffeine, or
exercised within 30 minutes of having your blood pressure measured, your reading might be
higher.
--how you are sitting. Crossing your legs and letting your arm droop at your side rather than rest
on a table at chest height can make your blood pressure go up
Unhealthy diet in regards to htn - answer- a diet that is too high in sodium and too low in
potassium puts you at risk for high blood pressure.
Eating too much sodium—an element in table salt—increases blood pressure. Most of the sodium
we eat comes from processed and restaurant foods.
