4. High Blood Pressure
Normal human blood pressure is considered to be 120 over 80 – though small variations in this can be considered normal, especially before or after an activity that affects your blood pressure in any way, such as eating or exercise.
If you have high blood pressure, then you could be at risk of developing atrial fibrillation – or it could be a sign that you are already living with the disease and just didn’t know it yet.
High blood pressure is considered both a symptom and a condition on its own, and it often needs to be managed as a standalone health condition even when it does indicate something else. You’ll be glad to know that high blood pressure is fairly easy to handle with the right medication and just a few small changes to your daily routine to ensure better heart health.
These days, you can also get a blood pressure kit from your pharmacy if you would like to check your own blood pressure at home – and this is highly recommended if you have any issues with blood pressure or problems associated with your heart.
