High Blood Pressure and Your Health
Blood pressure is the force that your blood exerts against the vessels in your body as it flows through it. When it is elevated, the blood is pressing too hard, and this can cause a variety of damage.
It can cause atherosclerosis, or the slow formation of a plaque, that can cause a clot. The clot can then cause a variety of problems, including a heart attack, stroke, and deep venous thrombosis.
High blood pressure, or hypertension, can cause damage to your kidney, your eyes, and a variety of other organs.
The problem is that for the most part you can not detect hypertension. It in general has almost no symptoms. You may notice a feeling of dizziness, or, more extremely, blood in your urine, but that is typically not going to happen.
If there are symptoms from high blood pressure, they usually are at the very end. The damage has been done and there is almost nothing to reverse it.
How is it detected?
Very often, you will go to a doctor's office and a standard reading will indicate whether or not you should be concerned.
How is it treated?
The main treatment is to adopt lifestyle changes that can reduce the risk of developing hypertension and possibly lower it as is.
One main way to do so is by changing your diet. Consuming less sodium can help lower your blood pressure. Additionally, eating a more balanced and healthy diet can provide important benefits and assist.
Getting more exercise is also a great idea.
Sometimes this is not enough. When natural methods for treating hypertension do not work, one often has to try medication. Medications include ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, and diuretics.
When managed properly, hypertension is something that need not cause that much problem.

Hot Blood Pressure Products - LifeSource Blood Pressure Monitor UA-774AC Dual Memory Auto Inflate
Introduction
The central feature of this Lifesource blood pressure monitor is that it records blood pressure readings for two users.
I like products that can be shared by more than one person in the home and when a product is able to be used by two or more people, it inherently offers better value than those products that cannot. I guess it is this facility really attracts me to the LifeSource Blood Pressure Monitor UA-774AC Dual Memory Auto Inflate - the dual memory system allows for it to be shared by two users. It maintains a record of the last 30 blood pressure checks. If used by only one person, then they can record their last 60 BP checks.
Although the LifeSource UA-774AC is perhaps not the best monitor we have ever reviewed, it is certainly a good product and moreover, if you need a monitor that can store monitoring statistics for two users, the LifeSource unit becomes the natural choice. The LifeSource UA-774AC Dual Memory Auto Inflate Blood Pressure Monitor comes with almost all of the features that we like to see in a unit in this price range and you can find these summarized at the end of this article.
Features
In addition to the "two user" facility, It is worth noting that there is also a "Guest Mode", which enables individual blood pressure readings to be taken anytime without upsetting the stored records.
The main selling point of the UA-774AC is the fact that it can store BP readings for two people. Nevertheless, the unit's ability to only store the last 30 sessions for each user puts it at a disadvantage when compared to some other dual user monitors. Even considering it monitors results for two users, the machine should be able to store up to 50 or 60 results for each user. There are other dual user capable monitors in the same price range as the UA-774AC that offer more storage for pressure readings data. With more memory storage for BP data, this unit would have excited me much more. Nevertheless, if you visit the doctor frequently or keep a blood pressure chart, the unit's limited storage capacity should not be an issue, especially having in mind that one would be buying a Lifesource quality product with lifetime guarantee.
The Lifesource UA-774AC Dual Memory Auto Inflate Blood Pressure Monitor does come with a lot of other features that make it a good choice for many people. For example, the UA-774AC blood pressure monitor uses the invaluable Irregular Heartbeat Detection technology which detects variations in heartbeat rhythm that may be associated with arrhythmia. For ease of use, the unit also features automatic cuff inflation.
Since the Lifesource UA-774AC supports two users, you must choose from user 'A' or user 'B', before starting the cuff inflation. Although this model does not utilize a true 'one touch' system for operation (no dual user monitor does), the added button press should not be too inconvenient for most users. The advantages of dual memory logging, more than make up for the slight inconvenience of not being a "one-touch" type monitor.
The LCD display on the LifeSource UA-774AC is not quite as large as on some other monitors made available today; however, the results are large enough that they are easily read and viewed from a normal viewing distance. The LifeSource LCD screen displays test results for both blood pressure and pulse. The brightness and contrast of the UA-774AC's LCD screen are also excellent. The monitor ships with both medium and large sized cuffs which will fit the majority of users.
As with many other Lifesource monitors the UA-774AC blood pressure monitor comes with a lifetime warranty. The unit is very well made, and appears to be very durable; the result should be a monitor that lasts for many years.
Conclusion
The LifeSource UA-774AC Dual Memory Auto Inflate Blood Pressure Monitor is a very capable monitor with many of the features most home users require in a blood pressure monitor. The UA-774AC is excellent in terms of accuracy and is very well made. Support for two users and the Irregular Heartbeat Detection technology make this a monitor worth its salt. Although I cannot give it the prestigious "5-Star award", as a best buy in its price range, the unit is a good choice for many, and will make the task of monitoring blood pressure easier and much more convenient.
Summarizing the main features, you will see what excellent value this Lifesource monitor provides:
- Modern, illuminated display
