The most important facts related to low and high blood pressure

Doctors advise maintaining normal blood pressure, which ranges between 90: 120 systolic pressure and 60: 80 diastolic pressure, so that the individual is in good health and does not suffer from high or low blood pressure.

What is the difference between high and low blood pressure and the symptoms that accompany them?

Low blood pressure
The pressure should be lower than the normal range, i.e. less than 60/90. Low blood pressure may lead to insufficient blood flow to the brain, heart and other organs and sometimes occurs in association with some diseases such as heart failure and dehydration.

Low blood pressure is considered less common than high blood pressure, as it is caused by taking some medications that cause a drop in blood pressure, so it is accidental.
Symptoms associated with low blood pressure are:
• Lack of concentration and blurred vision
• Dehydration and thirst more than usual
• Dizziness, fainting, and vomiting
• Breathing disorders
• Extreme fatigue and pale face

hypertension

It is the pressure that is above the normal range, i.e. more than 90/140, and it must be controlled as soon as possible so that it does not become chronic by exercising and adhering to a healthy diet, as high pressure is closely related to the individual’s daily habits, such as smoking and the type of food he eats, and blood pressure is also related to it. If it is not treated, it can lead to many other diseases, such as heart and kidney diseases
There are no symptoms of high blood pressure, so the individual must adhere to regular and frequent examination to know it
