Dear Srikar, Thank you for the question
Elevated blood pressure or Hypertension is one of the most common health problems, and is one amongst the multiple risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Hypertension treatment is usually based on drug administration along with lifestyle changes, especially diet modification which has been proven to be effective in managing high blood pressure.
For adults, Normal blood pressure is defined as 120/80 mmHg.
When blood pressure is equal to or above 140/90 mmHg it is considered to be raised or high.
It is recommended to monitor his blood pressure regularly to observe any fluctuations.
Some of the symptoms associated include headache, dizziness, impaired vision, filing memory, shortness of breath, unexplained tiredness etc.
