Hypertension is a condition where the force of the blood against the walls of the arteries is consistently too high. Hypertension can be classified into primary or essential hypertension and secondary hypertension Primary hypertension happens without a known underlying cause and about 90% cases of hypertension is primary. Risk factors for primary hypertension include old age, obesity, physical inactivity, family history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, excess salt intake, smoking and Alcoholism, stress. Secondary hypertension occurs about 10% time there is specific to some other underlying disease condition. Some of these disease conditions include the following primary Hyperaldosteronism, Cushing syndrome, kidney disease, hyper and Hypoparathyroidism. Symptoms include headache, dizziness, Visual disturbances and symptoms of end organ damage such as heart failure, heart attacks, stroke and kidney failure. Some patients refers to a situation where blood pressure levels are extremely high. A systolic pressure greater than 180 millimeters of mercury or a diastolic pressure greater than 120 millimeters of mercury means is a hypertensive crisis. This crisis used broadly to encompass both hypertensive urgency and hypertensive emergency. Hypertensive urgency is a condition where blood pressure is severely elevated, but hasn't yet been damage to end organs like the brain kidneys heart and lungs A hypertensive emergency is a more severe condition where extremely high blood pressure is causing acute organ damage. In addition there are a variety of anti-hypertensive medications that might be given Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (Enalapril, Captopril) Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (Losartan, Valsartan) Calcium Channel Blockers (Verapamil, Amlodipine) Diuretics (Chlorothiazide and spironolacton) And Beta Blockers (Propranolol, Metoprolol) Chapters 0:06 Hypertension, 0:33 Ranges of Hypertension, 01:37 Types of Hypertension, 01:51 Risk factors of Primary Hypertension, 02:13 Secondary Hypertension, 03:12 Hypertensive Crisis, 03:56 Symptoms of Hypertension 04:28 Treatment of Hypertension Hypertension, hypertension causes, hypertension sign and symptoms, hypertension types and causes, hypertension treatment, types of hypertension, high blood pressure symptoms and treatment, hypertension physiology, hypertension pathology More videos!    • Ciprofloxacin Tablet Pharmacology, Uses, M...      • Important Medical Terms / Medical Terminology      • Sore Throat Remedies at Home | How to trea...
