Today's Health
Explains high
blood pressure
Area Weddings
MCCALLUM WILLIS
Many people believe that
hypertension has something to do'
with nervousness or anxiety. It
doesn't. It simply means high
blood pressure.
It's estimated that about 15 per
cent of the adult population has
high blood pressure. And that
means somewhere around half a
million people in Ontario
Contrary to popular opinion,
these hypertensives are not all
high-powered executives under
stress; nor are they people who
shout and scream and throw
things. You can have a low profile
and still have a high blood
pressure.
The important thing about
hypertension is that it's an
invisible disease; and not only is
it unseen, it's unfelt: the person
with an elevated pressure usually
is unaware of the fact.
The only way to find out is from
your doctor. That band 'he puts
around your arm is connected to a
dial that records the pressure in a
blood vessel. This allows
measurement of two pressures,
the systolic pressure which
represents the pressure
developed in the arteries wher
the heart contracts, and the
diastolic pressure which
represents the pressure
remaining in the arteries when
the heart relaxes. A normal
reading for a 35-year old man
might show something close to
120/80.
Despite the fact that untreated
hypertension can lead to severe
damage to such "target" organs
as the heart, the brain and the
kidneys, people are mighty casual
about it.
One Hamilton physician,
specializing in preventive
medicine estimates that half the
people with hypertension don't
know they have it; of the half that
do know, only half are being
treated for it; and of these, only
half again are taking the
treatment consistently and
properly. In'other words, here we
have an easily indentifiable,
easily controllable health
problem, but it's being taken care
of adequately in only one eighth
of the cases.
Possibly because the disease is
invisible people tend to be too
• casual about it. The same
physician says that less than six
months after medication is
started to control hypertension,
only about 50 per cent of the
patients are taking enough of it to
do any good.
In about 90 per cent of cases,
high blood pressure has no known
cause. We do' know, however,
that overweight people are.
somewhat more prone to it than
are those of normal weight; we
also know that the individual's
blood pressure will vary from
time to time as a result of
strenuous exercise, or fear, or
some traumatic experience.
Also, blood pressure increases
during the normal aging process,
so that a reading of 140/90 might
be normal for someone' in their
60s; but high for a 20-year-old.
In summary, hypertension is
common, easily detected and
treatable. Untreated high blood
pressure can shorten a lifespan by
an estimated 16 years. This is one
area where you can exert a truly
positive effect on your own
health: have you 'pressure
checked; if you're one of the three
in 20 people with a high reading,
, seek treatment. And follow your
doctor's advice about it faithfully.
