Have you been diagnosed with hypertension but do not know what is hypertension actually? Well, the answer is quite simple. If your three consecutive blood pressure readings are 140/ 90, at a gap of six hours each then you are said to be suffering from hypertension.
In the state of hypertension, both the systolic pressure and the diastolic pressure is way above the normal blood pressure levels. Hypertension is basically of two types- primary or essential hypertension and secondary hypertension. Primary hypertension is said to arise from no other specific cause but lifestyle habits. It is the type that affects almost 95 percent of the high blood pressure sufferers. The treatment is done via lifestyle changes, dietary regulations and stress management and some medications. Secondary hypertension is not a much prevalent disorder. It is usually triggered by an already existing health condition that may already be very serious.
But how does one come to know whether he or she is suffering from hypertension? There are some symptoms that can help you recognize the disorder instantly. If you experience severe headaches and fatigue and chest pain on a regular basis then you must get alarmed. Extended sleeping disorders and vision problems coupled with irregular heartbeat, difficult breathing and blood in urine point towards the onset of hypertension. Watch out for any of these symptoms and if you find them to be occurring repeatedly then you need to consult your health care provider immediately.
Hypertension could be dangerous and lead to certain other complicated diseases as well. Increased risk of stroke and heart failure are the most common effects of hypertension. People afflicted with hypertension are much prone to heart attacks as it causes a lot of damage to the arteries and heart. Kidney is the next most affected organ of the body. The kidney looses its capacity to get rid of the salts, water and other waste products and becomes a victim of hypertension. Also, it is said to lead to the thickening of the left chamber of the heart which again increase the risk of heart disease. It's not over yet. Malignant hypertension, characterized by very high blood pressure may also lead to damage of the blood vessels present in the retina. The condition is known as hypertensive retinopathy and is capable of affecting vision to a great extent. It may lead to constant headaches and even permanent loss of vision in some cases. The worst of all the effects of hypertension is that it may lead to reduction in your thinking capability. In many cases, it has been linked to cognitive decline and senile dementia. So, now that you know what is hypertension and what all it could do to your health and body, take every possible step to avoid any possible damage. If checked in time, the condition can be controlled before it becomes a major problem.
