Management of High Blood Pressure

Reduce stress as much as possible.

• Blood pressure is the force at which blood pumps from the heart into the arteries. A normal blood pressure reading is less than 120/80 mm Hg.
• When blood pressure is high, the blood moves through the arteries more forcefully. This puts increased pressure on the delicate tissues in the arteries and damages the blood vessels.
• High blood pressure, or hypertension, affects about half of Indian adults, estimates the Indian College of Cardiology.
