| Overcome Hypertension |
Hypertension, more often known as high blood pressure often ignored by sufferers. Beware, because hypertension is the beginning of all deadly diseases. There is already known to other ways to cope. Recent research on the treatment carried out against the disease by controlling hypertension is high blood pressure since from upstream.
Hypertension did not have signs and symptoms. Therefore, hypertension is called the silent disease (a disease that comes in secret). Patients usually do not feel high blood pressure. Often people think that the frequent headaches and easily carried away is certainly suffering from hypertension. But he was not. To know a person really develop hypertension, a person must be examined by means of tension.
In each heartbeat, the heart pumps blood around the blood vessels. Blood pressure occurs because: first, when blood is pumped, resulting in pressure on the walls of blood vessels. Second, the blood vessels also have resistance to blood flow. If the blood vessels widen and blood pressure will decrease, so if the opposite happens.
In the body, there are two kinds of blood pressure, is systolic and diastolic. Systolic heart chambers is a condition when contracted to send blood to the outside. While the diastolic is a time when the heart relaxed after contracted. Some sources say that the normal systolic blood pressure in adults is less than 120 mm Hg. And diastolic blood pressure not higher than 80 mmHg. In conclusion, the normal number for free from hypertension is 120/80 mmHg. If you have a blood pressure of 120/80 to 139/89, you've been in the stage of hypertension. To fix it, you can make lifestyle changes (such as weight loss, diet with balanced nutrition, reduce salt intake, regular exercise). While in between 140/90 to 159/90, you are in the early stages of hypertension. On it, you enter the second stage of hypertension. To fix this, you need a hypertension drug that is supported by lifestyle changes.
If blood pressure is too high, the blood vessels can be damaged, and blood can not flow to the vital organs in the body. If such things happen in the brain, the patient may have a stroke. If there is in the heart can cause heart attacks. Other damage occurred at the eyes, lungs, and kidneys.
Several kinds of treatment that has been done to improve hypertension:
- Hypertensive drugs are diuretics, removes excess fluid in the blood, through urination. Because if the water volume decreases, blood pressure will also decrease.
- Drugs that dilate blood vessels to function, so that the blood pressure and heart rate decreases.
- Hypertension drugs CCB (Calcium Channel Blocker).
- Hypertension drugs ACE inhibitors (Angiotensin Converting enzyme).
- Hypertension drugs ARB (Angiotensin Receptor Blocker).
Hypertension drugs ACE inhibitors and ARBs, lowers blood pressure by blocking angiotensin II (a protein that can affect blood volume and contraction of blood vessels in the renin). Renin is an enzyme made by special cells present in the kidney. Renin is a blood pressure regulating systems in the body. Renin working together with aldosterone (a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, and some substances), to help balance sodium and potassium levels in the blood, and fluid levels in the body.
The latest research is by using Direct renin inhibitors, which is done by intervening directly into the center of renin. In this way, treatment of hypertension carried from upstream, by directly inhibiting the system activation point
