Blood Pressure Plus Herb Supplement: High blood pressure is the
13th largest cause of death in the United States according to the American Heart
Association in 2005. High blood pressure occurs when there is an increase of
force against the arterial wall, with potentially damaging consequences.
Symptoms associated with high blood pressure include headaches, sweating, rapid
pulse, shortness of breath, dizziness and visual disturbances.
High blood pressure occurs more often in men than in women, and in African
Americans almost twice as often as in Caucasians. Middle-aged and elderly
people, obese people, heavy drinkers and women taking birth control pills are
more sucesptible. People with diabetes mellitus, gout or kidney disease are more
likely to have high blood pressure, too.
When the blood pressure is high the heart
is forced to work harder to pump an adequate amount of blood to all parts of the
body. Constant high blood pressure can lead to kidney disorders, heart failure
or a stroke.
