High Blood Pressure Doctor Pompton Plains Morris County NJ
For many local Pompton Plains, Pequannock Township, and Morris County, NJ people, High Blood Pressure is an issue. High Blood Pressure, often referred to as Hypertension, is a common condition that affects a person’s arteries. If a person has it, their heart is going to have to work harder to pump blood throughout the body.
Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (= mm Hg), and if a person’s blood pressure reads 130/80 mm Hg or higher the condition exists. While there are different stages or levels of high blood pressure, or hypertension, a level of 180/120 mm Hg is where one has reached an emergency level and must seek medical help. While most people with Hypertension have no symptoms, some will see shortness of breath, headaches, or, in some cases, nosebleeds.
Without help, high blood pressure will inevitably increase the risk of a heart attack, a stroke, and various other related health problems.
