How to Check Early Symptoms of High Blood Pressure

What exactly is high blood pressure? Well, if your systolic pressure is around 180 and/or diastolic pressure is around 120, you have high blood pressure and you need to immediately consult a doctor. However, before your blood pressure reaches alarmingly high levels, you will be gradually experiencing high blood pressure. If the systolic pressure is higher than 130 and/or diastolic pressure is higher than 90, you are heading towards high blood pressure. Here are the symptoms to check out:

You will experience severe headaches frequently

You will experience vision problems

Your heartbeat will be irregular, you will frequently hear pounding in your chest, neck, and ears.

You might see blood in your urine (extreme symptom)

You will have trouble breathing

You will feel tightening in your chest, or chest pain

You will experience tiredness

You will have a lack of concentration, you will be confused

If your family has a history of high blood pressure, and if you are above 40 years of age, it makes sense to keep a blood pressure monitor at your home.

Start Yoga! It Is Good For Your Brain and Body

I have attended yoga classes, I have been taught by a yoga master, but I never heard of the term face yoga. For a lot of people, yoga is just a light exercise, an exercise that tells you to move your body in a specific alignment or perform a certain position. Yoga is more than that. Yoga is a Sanskrit term that is literally translated as a sum of two or more things. Yoga is a Hindu exercise pattern that involves combining your body with your mind and soul to reach the perfection of mental and physical health. The ultimate aim of yoga is to reach enlightenment but a lot of people can not attain enlightenment, therefore, reaching the perfection of mental and physical health is their primary goal. Yoga is more than stretching the body. As a student of yoga, I know there are specific recommendations to move your eyes, jaws, necks head, etc to relax your facial skin. But I have never heard anyone use the term face yoga. One simple yoga exercise involves running your palm to generating heat and then massaging your face with your palm. Another exercise involves rubbing your closed eyes gently with your middle finger and ring finger.
