H igh blood pressure is not |ust a disease of old people or miadle age people. It is also a disease of young people. A person is said to have high blood pressure when the systolic (top number) is constantly over 160 and the diastolic (bottom number) is over 90. 5 The elevation of the diastolic pressure is - of greater importance, because this indicates the pressure exerted on the artery walls a by the circulating blood, exclusive of the a 2 Help Control Medical Costs 1 Survey after survey after survey on in1 creases in the cost of living shows medicalhospital expenses as a major culprit.

Finally, inflation P is driving up medical costs along with every other expense. One big mistake many people make is to accept the high cost of medical treatment without complaint because their group insurance pays for most of it.

In other words, this puts an extra load on the left side of the heart, causing that part of the heart to enlarge in order to pump circulating blood back out to the rest of the body. After many years of excessively high blood pressure, the heart gets overworked. After the left side enlarges, the blood will begin to back up, causing extra fluid to collect in the lungs ? known to most of vou as "hpart dropsy." In medical terms, it's called congestive heart failure. High blood pressure can lead to strokes; and as many of you have seen, strokes can lead to permanent crippling or even death. There are two kinds of hypertension: 1. ESSENTIAL? This is the name given for high blood pressure when the cause cannot be found. 2. MALIGNANT? This means high blood pressure that is severe and progresses rapidly, causing heart, eye, kidney and brain damage, usually irreversible. If you feel you may have high blood pressure be sure to see your plant nurse or doctor and get it checked out. Meanwhile, watch that diet, and leave the salt shaker hidden away in the cupboard.
