Video Understanding Blood Pressure
[0:05] Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood on the walls of the blood vessels.

[0:22] Systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart is pumping, and diastolic pressure is the pressure when the heart is resting.
Normal, High, and Low Blood Pressure
[0:31] Normal blood pressure is less than 120/80 mmHg.
[0:36] High blood pressure (hypertension) is 140/90 mmHg or higher.
[0:40] Low blood pressure (hypotension) is less than 90/60 mmHg.
Causes of High Blood Pressure
[0:54] Common causes of high blood pressure include smoking, obesity, lack of exercise, high salt intake, stress, and genetics.
[1:07] Certain medical conditions, such as kidney disease and thyroid disorders, can also contribute to high blood pressure.
Causes of Low Blood Pressure
[1:16] Common causes of low blood pressure include dehydration, blood loss, heart problems, endocrine disorders, and some medications.
Symptoms of High and Low Blood Pressure
[1:41] Symptoms of high blood pressure may include headaches, dizziness, nosebleeds, and blurred vision.
[1:47] Symptoms of low blood pressure may include fatigue, dizziness, blurred vision, and fainting.
Managing High Blood Pressure
[2:06] Dietary changes, such as increasing fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and limiting salt, saturated fat, and cholesterol, can help manage high blood pressure.
[2:32] Managing low blood pressure may involve increasing fluid and salt intake, and consulting with a doctor about any necessary supplements or medications.
