Hypertension is a medical term that means that the blood presses excessively on the arteries\u2019 walls from the inside. Systolic (upper) pressure less than 120 and diastolic (lower) pressure less than 80 mmHg \u2013 it is considered normal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hypertension is diagnosed in the case of a constant increase in blood pressure (BP):<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 more than 140 mmHg (Systolic blood pressure);<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 more than 90 mmHg (Diastolic blood pressure).<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Health Harvard Publishing, <\/span>the difference between two numbers of blood pressures<\/span><\/u><\/a>\u00a0is also essential.<\/span><\/p>\n

High blood pressure without proper treatment can lead to heart attack, stroke, kidney or heart failure, vision impairment, and other complications. Even a slow and moderate increase in blood pressure is associated with a decrease in life expectancy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Up to 40% of patients with hypertension do not suspect the disease because they are often asymptomatic.<\/span><\/p>\n

To detect hypertension, you need to know its symptoms, regularly measure <\/span>your tension<\/span>\u00a0with blood pressure monitors or a mobile phone, and monitor your condition. For an in-depth analysis of your state, it is better to use an application that works based on AI\u2019s self-learning principle and has the most extensive database. For example, the Welltory, as the <\/span>best blood pressure <\/span><\/u>app<\/span><\/u><\/a>\u00a0and <\/span>the <\/span>heart rate variability <\/span>monitor<\/span>, can collect and analyze information from other measuring devices. It provides excellent support in an environment where regular visits to a specialist are complicated due to quarantine restrictions. The application offers support to specialized specialists who can provide essential advice and understand your condition\u2019s indicators.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Causes of <\/b><\/strong>H<\/b><\/strong>ypertension<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The pressure in the arterial bed, which ensures blood movement from the heart to the organs, is the product of cardiac output values and total peripheral vascular resistance. These indicators change under the influence of a wide range of pathophysiological factors, mainly in different combinations.<\/p>\n

If you have high blood pressure, better first understand the cause. There may be situations where the pressure has risen, but the disease can not be considered: against the background of severe emotional stress, alcohol consumption, after strenuous exercise. However, for a healthy person, the body compensates for the influence of all these factors and maintains normal blood pressure.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hypertension develops due to genetic mechanisms and exogenous factors \u2013 excessive salt intake, psycho-emotional stress, obesity.<\/p>\n

Determining risk factors for hypertension:<\/p>\n

\u2013 gender (women suffer more often according to statistic);<\/p>\n

\u2013 age (more than 50 years);<\/p>\n

\u2013 total cholesterol level.<\/p>\n

The risk increases if the patient leads a sedentary lifestyle is obese, early onset of cardiovascular disease in family members, preclinical manifestations of atherosclerosis, decreased renal function, and more.<\/p>\n

People who have close relatives under 55 with high blood pressure quadruple their risk of developing hypertension.<\/p>\n

The role of excess sodium (salt) in developing hypertension has been demonstrated in Japan. Thanks to the National Educational Program\u2019s introduction to Limit Salt Consumption (for 20 years), it has been possible to reduce the incidence of hypertensive cerebrovascular accidents (heart attacks, strokes, etc.).<\/p>\n

Types of Hypertension<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Depending on the etiology, there are two types of hypertension:<\/p>\n

\u2013 Primary or essential (hypertension);<\/p>\n

\u2013 Secondary or symptomatic.<\/p>\n

Symptomatic hypertension is also divided into:<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u2013 Renal;<\/p>\n

\u2013 Endocrine;<\/p>\n

-caused by coarctation of the aorta;<\/p>\n

-associated with neurological causes (brain tumor, encephalitis, sleep apnea syndrome, Hyena-Barre syndrome);<\/p>\n

-caused by pregnancy;<\/p>\n

In 95% of cases, essential arterial hypertension is diagnosed.<\/p>\n

Symptoms of hypertension:<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u2013 high blood pressure (140\/90);<\/p>\n

\u2013 headache (most often in the occipital or parietal part);<\/p>\n

\u2013 intermittent tinnitus, darkening of the eyes, and dizziness;<\/p>\n

\u2013 pain in the heart;<\/p>\n

\u2013 rapid heartbeat (more than 90 times per minute) at rest;<\/p>\n

\u2013 feeling of suffocation.<\/p>\n

In most cases, the onset of hypertension goes unnoticed. If blood pressure rises gradually, then headaches and dizziness are usually ignored.<\/p>\n

Increased blood pressure may be accompanied by general weakness, irritability, drowsiness. These symptoms are characteristic of entirely different diseases. It is why the late referral of patients to a specialist when hypertension is detected accidentally during a visit to the doctor for other reasons.<\/p>\n

Even worse, when the cardiogram shows changes in the form of left ventricular hypertrophy or the ophthalmologist records a change in the fundus\u2019s vessels. It means that high blood pressure has already damaged the heart and blood vessels, and treatment should have started a year ago.<\/p>\n

Treatment of Hypertension<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Treatment of hypertension should take place only under the supervision of a physician.<\/p>\n

Changes in diet and lifestyle can improve blood pressure control and reduce the risk of health complications. However, medical treatment is often necessary for people for whom lifestyle changes are ineffective or insufficient.<\/p>\n

If you first find yourself at rest at a pressure above 140\/90, worried about headaches, tinnitus, and weakness \u2013 please, see a doctor.<\/p>\n

Only a medical professional can diagnose and prescribe the appropriate medication.<\/p>\n

If you have already been diagnosed with \u201chypertension,\u201d you should immediately take the prescribed medication to reduce blood pressure and lie down for 30-40 minutes with your eyes closed. After the measures are taken, measure the pressure again: if it does not decrease, the condition worsens \u2013 you need to call an ambulance.<\/p>\n

Prevention<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

It is necessary to think about preventing hypertension at a young age, especially if one of the close relatives has cardiovascular disease.<\/p>\n

Healthy eating habits and lifestyle, in general, will help prevent high blood pressure:<\/p>\n

\u2013 maintain normal body weight;<\/p>\n

\u2013 quit smoking;<\/p>\n

\u2013 Limit the amount of alcohol consumed, and it is better not to drink alcohol at all;<\/p>\n

\u2013 Exercise regularly (at least 30-40 minutes 3-4 times a week);<\/p>\n

\u2013 Limit salt intake (up to 5 g per day for an adult \u2013 a little less than a teaspoon, including \u201chidden salt\u201d in marinades, smoked meats, sausages, sauces, and even regular bread);<\/p>\n

\u2013 Avoid stress (excellent prevention of pressure on the body is light running, swimming, yoga, walking in nature);<\/p>\n

\u2013 Eat foods rich in potassium (cereals, legumes, fruits, vegetables, greens).<\/p>\n

To prevent the onset of hypertension, you need to take more care of your health and measure your pressure at least twice a day for all people over 50.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How to correctly measure blood pressure<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Early diagnosis of hypertension depends on the accuracy of measurements. Doctors advise regularly checking devices\u2019 serviceability for measuring pressure and their readings\u2019 accuracy.<\/p>\n

It is equally important to follow the recommendations of international experts when measuring, in particular:<\/p>\n

\u2013 pressure is measured while sitting, at rest, not earlier than 30 minutes after walking, smoking, drinking tea, coffee, and other caffeinated beverages (otherwise you can record high blood pressure, even in a healthy person);<\/p>\n

\u2013 feet should be on the floor;<\/p>\n

\u2013 measure blood pressure twice (break \u2013 up to 2 minutes), and in case of discrepancies of readings of more than ten mmHg, one more measurement is required, the indicator will be the average result;<\/p>\n

\u2013 the manometer is placed at the level of the heart;<\/p>\n

\u2013 during the first measurement, blood pressure is measured on both the left and right hand, taking into account the higher value;<\/p>\n

\u2013 if the difference in the readings of different hands exceeds 20 mmHg, it needs re-measurement.<\/p>\n
