How Does Hypertension Affect Your Health?

When your heart pumps blood, the blood travels through arteries attached to the heart and then to blood vessels that become smaller and more delicate. The tiniest blood vessels, known as capillaries, supply your body with oxygen. Increased pressure within this system requires your heart to work harder and can damage the arteries and the following organs because they're not receiving enough oxygen:

  • Your brain.: A bleeding vessel or clot inside the brain can result in a stroke.
  • Your eyes: blurred vision and even blindness.
  • Your kidneys: This can lead to kidney failure, which may require dialysis or a kidney transplant.
  • Your heart :The heart is a muscle that requires oxygenated blood. If it doesn't get enough oxygen to function properly or blood flow to the heart is blocked, this can cause angina or a heart attack. Over time, the pressure of having to work harder can weaken your heart - a condition called congestive heart failure.

 

Hypertension treatment begins with lifestyle changes;

 medication can be added if necessary. Now that you are familiar with the warning signs of Hypertension, wouldn't this be a good time for you to seek urgent medical evaluation.

There are two types of blood pressure

Systolic blood pressure refers to the pressure inside your arteries when your heart is contracting;

Diastolic pressure is the pressure inside your arteries when your heart is relaxing.

When your arteries are healthy and dilated, blood flows easily and your heart doesn't have to work too hard. But when your arteries are too narrow or stiff, blood pressure rises, the heart gets overworked, and arteries can become damaged.

Various conditions and medications can lead to hypertension:

  • Kidney problems
  • Adrenal gland tumour
  • Thyroid problems
  • Certain defects in blood vessels you're born with (congenital)
  • Certain medications, such as birth control pills, cold remedies, decongestants, over-the-counter pain relievers and some prescription drugs
  • Illegal drugs, such as cocaine and amphetamines
  • Alcohol abuse or chronic alcohol use
  • Obstructive sleep apnea
