8.48 -> hello all today we are going
to see about hypertension
12.96 -> which is commonly called high blood pressure our
normal blood pressure is less than 120 bar 80 mmhg
22.32 -> it reaches 140 by 90 mmhg or when it crosses it
we call them as high blood pressure pressure is
32.16 -> nothing but the pressure exerted on the walls of
blood vessels mainly arteries there are two types
41.68 -> of hypertension essential hypertension is the most
commonest one about 95 percentage of the cases
50.4 -> in this type hypertension is the main
complaint or main disease the next type
56.32 -> is secondary hypertension it is about five
percentage of the cases only in this type
61.84 -> the main complaint is not hypertension it is
some other disease which leads to hypertension
69.2 -> for example kidney disease or some hormonal
tumors like that but it's five percentage only
77.68 -> next we are going to see what are the reasons for
high blood pressure actually no strong reason for
85.84 -> essential hypertension but there are some theories
like it may be from genetic cause or stress or
92.88 -> from environmental factors as such reasons for
secondary hypertension as i told you earlier here
101.04 -> the high blood pressure is due to certain diseases
like kidney diseases endocrine diseases that is
108.24 -> hormonal diseases or vascular diseases that is
disease affecting the blood vessels this is the
115.52 -> classification of blood pressures in regards to
hypertension the purpose of this classification
121.68 -> is to assess the severity of the disease and
also to choose the correct treatment options
130.24 -> next we are going to see about the signs and
symptoms of high blood pressure actually there
136.48 -> are no specific symptoms for hypertension but in
severe cases like in malignant hypertension we can
144.16 -> see headache nose bleeding shortness of breathe
and many critical situations can be happening
152.48 -> in emergency conditions but for mild moderate
conditions there are no such specific symptoms
162 -> you may have a question like if there are no
symptoms why we should concern about the disease
169.12 -> we should care about the disease because of
its complication if a person is having high
175.2 -> blood pressure for a long term it could damage his
blood vessels and heart because high pressure of
184.48 -> the blood may increase the workload of blood
vessels and heart leading to their damages
192.48 -> so complications would be hypertensive nephropathy
where kidney gets affected due to its blood supply
198.96 -> damage and then would be the retinopathy in which
eye gets affected due to damage of blood vessels
207.36 -> of eye and stroke due to blood vessel damage in
brain and heart attack due to blood vessel damage
214.8 -> in heart and also due to increased workload of
heart now we are going to see about treatment
222.48 -> there are two types of treatment pharmacological
and non-pharmacological pharmacological treatment
227.68 -> is nothing but medications which are prescribed
by your doctor like beta blockers ac inhibitors
236.08 -> saturn's kind of drugs but we are going to
concentrate on non-pharmacological treatment
242.08 -> which is very important and can be done by
the individuals lifestyle changes are very
247.04 -> important in the treatment of hypertension even
the patient is under the pharmacological treatment
253.36 -> there should be certain lifestyle changes
so that the pharmacological treatment
258.32 -> will be effective the main lifestyle changes would
be the diet changes fitting the habit of smoking
266.16 -> increase in physical activity and
reducing obesity if the patient is obese
274.08 -> these lifestyle changes seems to be restrictive
277.68 -> but if we think about the complications of
hypertension yeah you should do these changes
287.04 -> the important diet modification for
hypertension would be less intake of salt
294.56 -> many of you would have questions like why
please remember the fact that water follows salt
302.32 -> it is applicable for our blood too whenever
there is increase of salt in the blood
309.04 -> water moves into blood from the cells
and tissues making the blood volume more
316.88 -> so the blood pressure will also be more and
also movement of water from the cells and
322.24 -> tissues makes the tissues and cells dehydrated
that is less water in the cells and tissues
330.88 -> so due to these facts there should be less
intake of salt in case of high blood pressure
339.36 -> the next diet modification would be avoiding fried
oily foods why is it so because the two important
349.2 -> factors for heart attack will be the increased
cholesterol level and damage of blood vessels
356.56 -> due to high blood pressure there is already
vessels damaged so if the blood cholesterol level
364 -> is also increased the risk for heart attack
is further increased so fatty and oily foods
372.48 -> should be avoided not only for hypertension for
most diseases these foods should be avoided next
380.72 -> lifestyle change would be saying no to smoke as
smoking will also increase blood vessels damage
387.92 -> the next lifestyle change would be increase
in physical activity that is exercises studies
394.72 -> show that the physical activity will secrete some
blood products which are very protective in nature
402.96 -> for the blood vessels and also increase
in physical activity will lead to reducing
409.2 -> level of cholesterol so physical activity
is very important for the cardiac health
415.76 -> i mean heart health the next important
factor is obesity definitely there should be
422.48 -> preventive measures taken against obesity
because obesity in recent times across the world
430.88 -> not only leading to heart problems but also many
problems in human body weight loss should be
438.64 -> taken into consideration for most of the
health issues across the world in recent times
446.4 -> this is all about hypertension
no need to panic about it
451.92 -> because if the blood pressure is in control there
is no complications and also the lifestyle changes
460.88 -> will play a very important role in the control
of hypertension so if you have any questions
467.6 -> or doubts you can contact me and the contact
details are given in the description so bye
