Isolated systolic high blood pressure

 Your health

Only for 60 plus men and women

Isolated systolic hypertension common in aged people means lower reading 80 and below but higher 130 and above।I

can be caused by underlying conditions such as:

Artery stiffness

An overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism)

Diabetes

Heart valve problems

Obesity

Having a high systolic blood pressure for a long period of time can increase your risk of strokes, heart disease and chronic kidney disease.

The recommended goal for systolic pressure for adults younger than age 65 with a 10% or higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease is less than 130 mm Hg. For healthy adults who are age 65 or older, the recommended treatment goal for systolic pressure is also less than 130 mm Hg.

You'll need medications to control isolated systolic hypertension in order to prevent health problems. But, it's important that your systolic blood pressure treatment doesn't cause your diastolic blood pressure to drop too low. If that happens, you can develop other complications.

In addition to medication, lifestyle changes can also help improve your systolic blood pressure reading. Important changes include:

Eating a healthy diet

Decreasing the amount of salt in your diet

Losing weight if you're overweight or obese

Increasing physical activity to at least 150 minutes a week of moderate physical activity

Limiting alcohol to no more than one drink a day for women of all ages and men older than age 65, and up to two drinks a day for men age 65 and under

Your doctor will ask you to come back for a follow-up appointment to 

make sure your treatment and lifestyle changes are improving your blood pressure.

Note:There is no statistically proven evidence that aspirin helps in any manner younger people।But it can cause stomach bleeding।It can cause over thinning of blood।

Only when +65 persons need some anti clogging  agent a doctor may prescribe 75 mg/day or even 300 mg once a week।

Alcohol in any amount is bad ।It kills brain cells, liver cells and acidity।it also hurts kidney

Non active 65 plus never exceed one drink a day for 5 days।give holiday to liver to rebuild itself
