Changes in stimuli from your body could affect the blood pressure .Complex interaction takes place between blood vessels, heart, kidneys and many different hormones. A decrease in stimuli could reduce the blood pressure. This article will tell you about the different classifications of blood pressure and levels of hypertension.
Rise in blood pressure can be due to different reason. Normally, when you are sleeping your blood pressure is lower as compared to when you are awake because while you are asleep your heart doesn’t have to work hard to pump the blood.

The reason why your blood pressure is lower when you are resting is that your body doesn’t demand oxygen rich blood at that time as compared to when you are awake and are involved in some physical activity.

Due to increase in the blood pressure, higher pressure is exerted on the arteries and the heart. This requires the heart to work harder than it does normally. Over a span of time heart gets enlarged but still fails to serve the purpose.
It is important to understand the importance of getting your blood pressure checked regularly but also to know how the blood pressure is measured.

The blood pressure is measured with the help of a device called sphygmomanometer also known as blood pressure cuff. The blood pressure is measured in mm of mercury also denoted as ‘mm Hg’. For example 120/80mmHg, here the first number denotes the systolic pressure; it is the pressure when the heart contracts to send the blood through arteries.
The second number is called the diastolic pressure; it is the pressure at which the blood flows back into the heart.  This is when the heart is relaxed after pumping the blood to the arteries, when the heart is filling up with more blood to pump.
Now in order to know how severe the hypertension is, you have to check under which category your hypertension lies.

Hypertension Classification for Adults:

1. Normal
Systolic: <120, Diastolic: <80
2. Pre-Hypertension: 
Systolic: 120-139, Diastolic: 80-99
3. Stage One Hypertension: 
Systolic: 140-159, Diastolic: 90-99
4. Stage Two Hypertension: 
Systolic: 160+, Diastolic: 100+

Hypertension can be cured with medicines and making the necessary modification in the lifestyle. Exercising regularly can help in curing the disease. It doesn’t matter under which category you fall, the most important thing is, to follow the instructions given by the doctor.

It is seen that even young children are consuming tranquilizers in the present situation. It is baffling to know that anti-depressants are more used than ever in today’s life. From students to professionals to old persons, every one is subjecting themselves to the mercy of such pills to get rid of the stress that has become characteristic of their lives. To understand why such a scenario has risen and what its implications are, one must look into the details of what is stress, what are its causes and solutions are. Another off-shoot of stress is tension, which too, has become a prevalent condition.

That condition where the human body faces inability in giving appropriate response to the external conditions such as physical or emotional stimulus, can be termed as stress. There are many types of stress. That type of stress which provides strength to the body immediately is called Eustress. When a person is pushed into situations which he or she cannot handle, the stress generated is termed as Hyper-stress. While eustress is positive, hyper-stress is a negative kind of stress. If there is constant change in the surroundings of a person, it can lead to a type of stress called as Distress.

Besides these, there is also Hypo-stress which is opposite in nature to hyper-stress. Hypo-stress causes extreme boredom in an individual. The correlation between stress and tension is that prolonged stress leads to development of tension. Tension develops anxiety in the mind and the mind becomes unable to judge situations. The mind is unable to understand the nature of circumstances around and the person becomes nervous. Such a person cannot reason out and loses control over situations. Not only do physical actions become un-coordinated, control over emotions is lost, too.  Tension is also the root cause high blood pressure which can lead to failure of the heart.

To manage stress, the easiest and simplest way is to exercise. When one exercises, the mind is freed of the blockages caused by constant thinking over. The physical tension from body parts is released and this greatly reduces the fatigue trapped in the mind. Another very important thing is to always strive to develop a positive attitude towards life. A positive outlook enables a person to face difficult situation with a calm and clear mind. It is essential that a positive outlook is inculcated in the personality, from the very beginning of life, that is, from early years of childhood.

A philosopher of the Victorian era has said that a life is not complete without problems. Truly, problems are a part and parcel of one’s life. Everybody has his or her own share of problems. One cannot choose to bypass the problems and get away with them. There is only one way to overcome those problems, and that is to face them without even thinking of running away from them. This is a stark reality of life and the Almighty has supposedly given us no choice in this matter. It has been observed that childhood is the only phase of life when most of the individuals, but certainly not all of them do not have to face problems.

Generally, there are parents who can shield their children in bad times. However, when an individual grows up, that shield goes on diminishing. However, this is not all as bad as it may seem because it is only by coming out of that parental shield that one can become self-reliant, confident and ready to take on the world. In other terms, one gradually develops his or her own shield. It is during this time that an individual undergoes a lot of experiences, which ultimately occurs as wisdom for an individual.

The lifestyle or the way of living in this period of time can certainly cause stress and tension in one’s life. This is so because at this time, and individual has got most of the responsibilities such as maintaining a family, looking after parents and saving money for one’s own future. These factors of stress and tension, if prolonged can lead to an underrated performance levels in individuals and an ultimate failure if not recognized and treated in a proper manner. Some of the commonly known ways are to take a break from regular, monotonous work or if possible, some change in one’s style of living can be effective.

However, the most important and one of the most effective ways to keep stress and tension at bay are to be happy. A common indicator of happy people is that they are always cheerful. These days, even the pursuit of happiness is being commercialized as there are are various health clubs springing up which offer laughter therapy as one of their packages. The cost of these so-called stress-relieving packages itself can cause stress in individuals! It is not required to join any of these clubs to be happy, but by changing one’s own outlook towards life, one can remain happy for whole life.
