Book Description
Preface

How very true this is. Disease is a foe, a collective foe, which we must fight collectively with knowledge, alacrity and all our resources. Of all the foes, big and small, hypertension is an easy foe that can be fought and won over. Raised blood pressure does not directly cause a problem but does so by damaging important body parts like the kidney, heart, brain, eyes and literally the entire body. Thus, if allowed to go- unchecked, it could devastate the whole being but if taken care of early, it can be tamed. Good eating habits, salt restriction, exercise obesity control and adequate mental and physical rest are required medicines, if needed, can be added to help the system. The disease assumes significance as it is a common condition all over the world, sparing no race, no creed.

In this small book, the author's endeavour is to make one aware of blood pressure and its causes. Managing on our own, by lifestyle modifications and correct medication, finds a mention in this self- help book (if we may call it so). The need for this book is to make a person with high blood pressure understand why and how he is suffering and what he needs to do about it.

Yes, hypertension (or high blood pressure) is a very commonly used term in medical parlance all over the world. It tells us that the person is suffering from raised blood pressure. It does not qualify what is the status on other related issues.

Acknowledgements

I would like to thank all the patients who have contributed, though unknowingly, in increasing my understanding of the psyche of the people with hypertension (high blood pressure). No matter how much literature we scan through, information gathered is useless till it is utilised in a practical setup. Also, information has been collected and utilised from Mayo Clinic's Heart Book, Hot Topics-Hypertension and many other information leaflets.
