blood preassure

[Thunderchild]

i am interested in knowing about both low and high blood preassure. r certain habbits or diets good o bad.

and dear AB Editor before u step in and correctly advise me (us) to seek professional medical advice u may be interested to know that my fathers low blood preaasure that occasionaly is so low he cannot see or even move was termed by his doctor as being "healthily low". fancy that i think the healthy was for the goverment that has to pay for medicines but not funerals !

High blood pressure is linked with obesity and poor diet: high in fats, sugars and salt. High blood pressure is of more concern because of the overload on the heart and can cause kidney problems and ischaemic heart disease. Low blood pressure can be disabilitating but does not generally cause  problems to other parts of the body. When a person is ill or losing blood their blood pressure may fall which of cause would be something to then worry about.
