Blood Pressure

Blood pressure is association of systolic and diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure represents BP, while the heart is pumping and diastolic pressure stands for BP when the heart is at rest.

High blood pressure (hypertension) occurs when the pressure on the arteries and blood vessels becomes too high and the arterial wall becomes distorted causing extra stress on the heart.

Long term hypertension increases the risk of stroke, heart attack and diabetes.

Blood pressure ranges:
Normal: Less than 120/80 mm Hg
Prehypertension: Systolic pressure between 120–129 and diastolic pressure less than 80
Stage 1 Hypertension: Systolic pressure between 130–139 or diastolic pressure between 80–89
Stage 2 Hypertension: Systolic pressure at least 140 or diastolic pressure at least 90 mm Hg

Outcomes of high blood pressure:
- Arterial damage
- Aneurysm
- Metabolic syndrome
- Reduced kidney function
- Heart failure
- Blocked or ruptured blood vessels
- Vision loss
- Loss of cognitive function

Causes of high blood pressure:
- A high-salt diet
- Obesity
- Emotional stress
- Birth control pills
- Alcohol
- Caffeine
- Smoking
- Heavy-metal poisoning

    1. High Blood Pressure Cured In 9 Minutes

      Is it possible to drop your high blood pressure below 120/80 in just 9 minutes?

      Unbelievable…but the answer is YES!

      Not only is it possible…thousands of people have done it already.

      In fact, this little technique has become the #1 “underground” high blood pressure trend of the year. And we’re expecting it to become mainstream very soon.

      What’s more…this method requires NO pills, supplements, diets, or strenuous workouts.

      I explain this all here in today’s video…

My main symptoms was fatigue, shortness of breath, and a general sense that these symptoms will keep me out of normal life activities, my symptom was not being able to breathe when lying down basically .
