It is considered that a person suffers from hypertension when one observes twice, and not on the same day, a systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 140 mm Hg and/or a diastolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 90 mm Hg .

How to measure it? Ideally at the doctor’s as explained by Dr. Alexandre Persu : “Taking several measurements during several consultations makes it possible to check it because the tension constantly varies according to stress, pain“.

After age 40, blood pressure is checked annually. More often depending on heredity, overweight, if you are a man or if you are a postmenopausal woman. If the blood pressure is 18, the result must be confirmed by a measurement 24 hours later. “Many people have no symptoms but there are warning signs what are headacheof the hissing and ringing in the earsa vision troubleof the chest pain. When the tension appears suddenly or if there are strong variations, these symptoms appear. Go to your doctor right away for a check-up.” specifies Dr. Alexandre Persu.
