Researchers found that those who spent half an hour once a week, even hands-free, were 12 percent more prone to higher blood pressure, also called hypertension. Furthermore, six hours of weekly phone chats raised the risk to 25 percent. <\/p>\n<p>The study found that those with the highest risk were participants who had a high genetic risk of hypertension. Spending at least 30 minutes on the phone for them led to a 33 percent higher chance of hypertension. The reason behind the link is not yet known, and more research is needed. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/talking-on-the-phone-for-more-than-30-minutes-a-week-can-raise-high-blood-pressure-risk\/\" title=\"Phone chats over 30 mins\/week may up high BP risk.\">mobile phone usage emits low levels<\/a> of radiofrequency energy, which has been linked to higher blood pressure after short-term exposure, the researchers said.<\/p>\n<h3>What is Hypertension?<\/h3>\n<p>Hypertension, often dubbed the \u201csilent killer,\u201d is one of the main causes of premature death in the world. The condition can damage arteries by making them less elastic, which decreases blood and oxygen flow and can lead to a heart attack or stroke. Nearly 1.3 billion adults aged 30 to 79 worldwide have high blood pressure. <\/p>\n<p>According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly half of adults in the United States, 116 million people or 47 percent of the population, have hypertension, \u201cdefined as a systolic blood pressure greater than 130 mmHg or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/research-shows-eating-a-wider-variety-of-protein-may-lower-risk-of-hypertension\/\" title=\"Research Shows Eating a Wider Variety of Protein May Lower Risk of Hypertension\">diastolic blood pressure greater<\/a> than 80 mmHg or are taking medication for hypertension.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>How to Determine Your Blood Pressure Levels<\/h3>\n<p>The most reliable way of determining your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nine-plant-based-milks-that-are-a-healthy-alternative-to-cows-milk\/\" title=\"Nine Plant-Based Milks That Are a Healthy Alternative to Cow\u2019s Milk\">blood pressure levels<\/a> is to have a doctor or other health professional measure it. <\/p>\n<h3>Symptoms of Hypertension<\/h3>\n<p>More often than not, a person with high blood pressure would tend to not show any symptoms. In cases where people with high blood pressure do experience symptoms, the ones to look out for include:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Headaches<\/li>\n<li>Chest pain<\/li>\n<li>Shortness of breath<\/li>\n<li>Blurred vision<\/li>\n<li>Nausea<\/li>\n<li>Nosebleeds<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>Until more research is conducted, it seems prudent to keep cell phone calls to a minimum to maintain heart health. With almost three-quarters of the global population aged 10 and over owning a cell phone, it is important to be aware of the potential risks associated with mobile phone usage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new study found that spending just 30 minutes talking on a mobile phone per week is linked to a greater risk of blood pressure, a major cause of heart attacks and strokes.
