Symptoms and hazards of hypertension

Many people suffer from high blood pressure to some extent. Patients with high blood pressure have always believed that their blood pressure is just slightly higher than the normal blood pressure fluctuation range and it will not be a big deal. In fact, this is not the case. High blood pressure has many complications that are very scary. If high blood pressure is not treated well, the consequences will be very serious. We will introduce the symptoms and hazards of high blood pressure below.

High blood pressure can cause headaches and dizziness. In addition, high blood pressure can cause patients to experience symptoms such as insomnia, limb numbness, tinnitus, palpitations and shortness of breath.

Symptoms and dangers of high blood pressure:

1. Headache: mostly located in the back of the head, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. If you experience frequent and severe headaches accompanied by nausea and vomiting, this may be a sign of a transition to malignant hypertension.

2. Dizziness: It is more common in female patients and may occur when they suddenly squat or stand up.

3. Tinnitus: Tinnitus in both ears, lasting for a long time.

4. Palpitations and shortness of breath: Hypertension can lead to myocardial hypertrophy, cardiac enlargement, myocardial infarction, and heart failure, which are all symptoms that cause palpitations and shortness of breath.

5. Insomnia: mostly characterized by difficulty falling asleep, early awakening, restless sleep, nightmares, and easy awakening. This is related to cerebral cortex dysfunction and autonomic nervous system dysfunction.

6. Limb numbness: common symptoms include numbness in fingers and toes or a crawling sensation on the skin, and inflexible fingers. Numbness may also occur in other parts of the body, as well as paresthesias and even hemiplegia.

In the above article, we introduced that hypertension is a disease that we should not underestimate. We often think that hypertension means that the blood pressure is slightly higher than usual and nothing will happen. However, after reading the symptoms and dangers of hypertension introduced above, I believe that everyone will be able to take targeted measures to prevent and treat hypertension in the future.
