There aren't really any! Everybody's blood pressure varies throughout every day being highest when taking vigorous exercise and lowest when asleep in bed.. But before a diagnosis of hypertension (high blood pressure) is made by a doctor, based on WHO criteria, a resting value of greater than 160/95 must have been recorded on at least three occasions. Then there is a danger that the person's high blood pressure could cause complications to his health.

But all reports indicate nearly everybody who does have hypertension so diagnosed by such measurements feels perfectly well themselves and very often do not know their blood pressure is too high, because they do not have any symptoms indicating there is anything wrong with themself. It is only normally discovered during a routine medical examination. Age is also an important consideration. Men over 50 men are more likely to develop high blood pressure due to their arteries becoming less elastic and narrower because of fat deposits than younger people.

Not everybody with hypertension necessarily needs drug treatment. In many cases it can be corrected ny the person modifying his lifestyle such as by taking more exercise, reducing stress, eating a high fiber and low fat diet, cutting down on salt, reducing or stopping drinking alcohol and giving up smoking and/or recreational drugs. But if your blood pressure still remains high after these measures there are various different ant hypertensive drugs for doctor to prescribe suitable for the specific individual's needs. A typical daily prescription might include the person taking one1 mg Doxazosin tablets, one 2.5 mg Bendroflumethiazide and one 1 mG Perindopril each morning so making his blood pressure okay for that day, yet the person will not feel any better nor worse than before than after embarking on such daily prescribed drug taking.
