Hypertension
Normal, or ideal, blood pressure is 120/80. A person has hypertension if his or her blood pressure is above 140/85. The upper number is the "systolic" pressure, the pressure in the heart when it is pumping. A normal healthy systolic presure is 140 or less. The lower number is the "diastolic pressure." A normal healthy number for the diastolic pressure is below 85. SymptomsHypertension is virtually always symptom-free. It is this fact that causes hypertension to be called the "silent killer." Blood pressure that is elevated over a long period of time damages the walls of the blood vessels and sets the stage for stroke, heart attack, loss of vision, kidney disease and other cardiovascular diseases.
