YOGA THERAPY FOR BLOOD PRESSURE

HIGH B.P has become more common now,  than it was a few centuries ago. In the industrial age,unable to face day to day problems,with calm courage, man succumbs to stress and strain.

SYSTOLIC - DIASTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE:

.

If the B.P becomes too high, it is called Hypertension. In the case of people subjected to both mental and physical strain the high B.P may become higher and leads to hypertension. But, if the person is suffering from hypertension, his B.P will be very high even though he may not have any stress. The heart goes on pumping the blood into the arteries and see that it reaches all the part of the body. For this purpose, the heart contracts and the blood flow out from the heart into the blood vessels with great speed. This pressure, created in the blood due to the contracting of the heart,is called SYSTOLIC PRESSURE.

When the heart expands and comes back to normal state again certain amount of pressure is created in the blood which is called DIASTOLIC PRESSURE .

The blood is usually measured in millimeters as :


SYSTOLIC PRESSURE : 120
DIASTOLIC PRESSURE : 80

USUAL STATE OF THE BLOOD:

Generally the systolic pressure lies between 100 -120 for all age groups in normal health conditions, though according to some , it is 90. It varies from person to person and again, as age advances, the systolic Pressure too increases.

Diastolic Pressure remains between 60 - 90 in normal conditions, irrespective of age.
Emotional states like anger which every human being experiences will exercise their influence on B.P. mental pressure, excitement, fear and anxiety increase the B.P. When the person gets back to normal state, the B.P too comes to the original level.

HYPERTENSION:

Hypertension is seen more in men than in women. Also more in the middle aged and old aged people.

COMPLICATIONS:

If the B.P is not checked properly the following problems may arise.

1. Life span will come down
2. Coronary artery problem
3. Brain Hemorrhage
4. Paralysis
5. Headaches
6. Kidney problem

B.P - Silent killer:

This is un-happy to say that, no one can realise that he has B.P. It is because external symptoms will not be visible in B.P like as other diseases.

Many people with high B.P may not aware that they are suffering from high B.P . It is possible only by frequent check up of B.P test.
