Is hypertension a heart condition? -

(high blood pressure)

No, hypertension is not a heart condition. However, left untreated it can eventually lead to cardiac problems.

hypertension is a kidney receptor problem. the kidneys regulate the pressure not the heart. it is affect negativly by high pressures because it has to work harder to get blood through those stiff arteries. any kind of restriction of blood to the kidneys will send it giving hormones designed to raise blood pressure to get blood flow to the kidney. to much omentum fat (the fat this under your muscles in your stomach area that is why some have stiff fat stomach) can put pressure on teh organs causing restricted blood flow and the kidneys response to the restricted blood flow again with raising pressures higher than is healthy. chemical imbalances can cause hbp. such as not enough potassium or calcium in the diet, to the high ratio of sodium to potassium (sodium outnumbering teh postassium)when there is a mineral imbalance aka chemical imbalance in the body the blood vessels don t work properly and stiffen up, thus the heart has to work harder to get blood through those unyeilding blood vessels. by having such pressures that are high overtime the arteries get damaged by the stiffness and pressure from teh pulses of the heart and whammo you get cellular damage to the cells in the lining of the blood vessels. these in turn are repaired by the cholesterol in your blood to patch up teh damage. if the damage continues you get a build up until the blood is completely blocked. also anything else that causes damage to the lining will result in the same thing, hbp is not the only thing that causes the damage. The heart condition that results is hypertrophy of the heart, it gets bigger, not necessarily more efficient because like any muscle, it gets bigger when the load gets higher. adn this can lead to heart failure, reduced blood flow etc. RRRRR

check ur condition of heart go and visit the url

yes it is a cardiovascular condition that can cause many problems including death if it goes untreated.

NO!!! , it s your abdomen gut problem.

Eat less animal fat like cheese, eggs amp; meat.

a symptom or precursor of one.

When a patient has hypertension or high blood pressure, the force of blood against the artery walls is too strong. Hypertension is known as a silent killer because the symptoms do not appear until it is severely high. You may not be aware you have hypertension, but it can be causing damage to your arteries, heart and kidneys. High blood pressure can lead to atherosclerosis and stroke. The causes of hypertension are diverse and a doctor may not be able to pinpoint the cause straight away. Several factors are known to increase blood pressure. These include obesity, alcohol problems, high salt intake and stress. There may also be a family history of high blood pressure that you are not aware of. If you do not take much exercise or have a low calcium intake, you may find yourself with high blood pressure. Hypertension can creep up without warning. There are usually no symptoms or signs that you have this complaint. A doctor can diagnose high blood pressure by taking a blood pressure reading. Unlike mild hypertension, severe high blood pressure can cause headaches, nausea and vomiting. A more severe case, called hypertensive crisis, is hypertension that rises rapidly. If this is not treated, it can damage the brain, heart, eyes or kidneys. Most people find out they have hypertension during a visit to their doctor. The doctor will take a reading of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The systolic measure indicates the pressure of the blood against the artery walls once the heart has just finished pumping. The diastolic measure records the pressure of blood against the artery walls between heartbeats. The reading is taken when the heart is relaxed and filling with blood. A high blood pressure reading is a systolic measurement of 140 or above, which is the first reading on a blood measurement gauge. The diastolic measurement for high blood pressure, which is the second reading on the gauge, is 90 or above. A normal blood pressure reading for an adult who is 18 or over is a systolic pressure of 119 and below, with a diastolic measurement of 79 or below. If you have hypertension, a doctor will usually suggest a change in lifestyle. He will advise on dietary plans with particular emphasis on low-fat and low-saturated-fat foods. He will also suggest moderating your alcohol, caffeine and nicotine intake. Your doctor may prescribe medications such as a thiazide-type diuretic to lower blood pressure. Your treatment will depend on how high your blood pressure is. Whether or not you have other medical conditions will also be a factor in the treatment of hypertension. Over 50 million American adults have high blood pressure, and the number of cases increase with age in both men and women. Doctors are aware that hypertension is a very common problem, so they have the necessary experience and skills to deal with this complaint.

hypertension is a disorder of the human circulatory system, and that does involve the heart. So, yes. See a doctor to control your blood pressure...
