A few notable symptoms.
High blood pressure (hypertension) is a very common condition.
During hypertension, the blood pushes against the artery wall so strongly that serious
health problems develop in the body.
High blood pressure is called the silent killer, and unfortunately, the pathology justifies this nickname; In a large percentage of clinical cases, the process is so asymptomatic that it is difficult for a person to believe that he is a carrier of hypertension.
Uncontrolled hypertension significantly increases the risk of heart attack or stroke.
You may be surprised, but some people feel great and have hypertension - it is against this background that it is necessary to regularly monitor the blood pressure. Blood pressure control is recommended for practically healthy people over 40 years of age. If you are in the risk group, it is recommended to monitor once a year.
The risk of high blood pressure increases with family history, lifestyle and medications.
The risk group is:
- Age;
- Excess weight;
- Family anamnesis;
- A large dose of salt in the diet;
- Excessive alcohol;
- Some medicines;
- Various diseases in the anamnesis (obstructive sleep apnea, kidney pathologies, adrenal gland tumor and others);
- Inactive lifestyle;
- Tobacco.
Symptoms of high blood pressure:
- Blurred vision
- Nosebleeds
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain
- Dizziness
- Headaches
