The Risk To Develop High Blood Pressure?
 |
You’ve just had a fight with your spouse or your kids. You’re angry, your face is red, you feel your heart pounding and on top of all that, now you’re getting a headache. If you took your blood pressure right now, it would be alarmingly high.
As our emotion gets intense, our blood pressure shoots up. This is a natural reaction and once your fear or anger subsides, your blood pressure will return to normal levels. More often than not, high blood pressure is only diagnosed when it remains consistently high over a prolonged period of time.
Having it checked regularly, at least once every two years, is the only way to know if you have it. The following symptoms may signify that you are suffering from hypertension, or high blood pressure. It is important to note that you may also have high blood pressure even if you don’t have these symptoms; that is why it is very important to have your blood pressure checked regularly.
Dizziness Chest pain Headaches Shortness of Breath Blurred Vision or other visual abnormalities
People in the traditional medical system say that roughly 95%of high blood pressure is from unknown causes, and it is called essential hypertension. Such a big percentage is very alarming, but you can do something about it.
There are risk factors that are controllable and there are also those that are uncontrollable. Uncontrollable risk factors are your heredity, age, and race. As you get older, your risk of developing high blood pressure also increases.
Most commonly, hypertension occurs in men between thirty-five and fifty years old. In women, it commonly occurs after menopause. Also, if a family member has it, your risk of getting it is increased.
Some races have a greater incidence of hypertension such as African Americans, who tend to develop it earlier and more frequently than Caucasians. You have no control over those risk factors. There’s nothing you can do to change them.
But there are risk factors that you can control and have a direct impact on whether you’ll develop high blood pressure or not. Eating too much salt, drinking alcohol excessively, having a sedentary lifestyle, obesity, smoking and stress all play a part in the development of high blood pressure. How many of those risk factors do you have?
Hypertension, if not monitored and treated, can lead to much more serious problems with long-term consequences, like brain, heart, and kidney damage. Delicate blood vessels in the eye can be damaged as well. Due to high blood pressure, the following life-threatening conditions can occur:
Irregular heartbeats, called arrhythmias Heart attack or brain attack (known more commonly as a stroke) Chronic kidney disease, ultimately resulting in kidney failure, requiring dialysis or transplant Hardening of the arteries, called atherosclerosis CHF – Congestive heart failure, a condition in which your heart becomes too weak to be efficient at pumping your blood.
The usual treatment being done to combat hypertension is aggressive drug therapy, which drives down your blood pressure, but it comes with many side effects. More often than not, they don’t even get the blood pressure down. If you recall, most doctors admit they don’t know about 95% of the reasons for high blood pressure.
