The normal blood pressure (BP) for an adult is 120/80 mmHg. When a person’s BP measures significantly more or less than that standard persistently, that person suffers from uncontrolled BP. Most cases of uncontrolled BP are people suffering from persistent high BP.

High blood pressure means that your blood is exerting more pressure in your blood vessels. Naturally, the blood vessels tend to wear out over time – they can either tear or hardens the heart muscle (since the heart has to pump the blood with more force).

This increases the risk of heart attack, brain haemorrhage, blood clot, stroke, etc. Apart from the severe health risks, high BP also causes discomfort in daily life. (Check out the symptoms.

Uncontrolled BP or persistent hypertension can be predicted if you experience the following symptoms:

• Headache
• Disorientation
• Chest pain
• Vision problem
• Fatigue
• Irregular heartbeat
• Difficulty in breathing
• Blood in urine
• Pounding in chest, neck, and ears.

There are many health issues that can trigger a temporary episode of high or low BP. Such BP issues can be treated easily through the course of treating the triggering factor. But to be diagnosed with persistent hypertension, you have to meet the following conditions:

• Multiple BP medicines at their highest tolerable doses aren’t keeping the BP at check.
• One of those medicines aims at removing excess fluid and salt from the body.
• The measure of BP is not normal for consecutive BP tests done at a prescribed interval.

Uncontrolled BP does not respond well to any aggressive treatment. It requires the right medicines at the right doses at the right time. It also requires many lifestyle alterations. For example:

• Eating a balanced, low-salt diet
• Avoiding alcohol and smoking
• Exercising regularly
• Maintaining a healthy weight
