With high blood pressure, a person may generally feel well, but there are still many signs that indicate the disease. This was reported by RT Denis Banny, medical specialist at the Gemotest laboratory.
He noted that it is impossible to detect hypertension without special equipment such as a tonometer. The fact is that with prolonged high pressure, the receptors in the vessels partially lose sensitivity and the body ceases to notice changes. Therefore, even people with dangerous levels of blood pressure may not know it until the end.
However, there are a few non-specific signs that may indicate a problem. One of the most common is headache.
“In hypertension, it usually occurs in the morning and is localized in the back of the head. Headaches may also be accompanied by dizziness, especially with a sudden change in body position. The specialist said that these symptoms occur due to changes in blood flow in the vessels of the brain.
Also, persistent or periodic tinnitus or blurred vision may indicate a problem. It is also common for people with hypertension to complain about spots appearing before their eyes. These symptoms occur because blood circulates under higher pressure and, as a result, the load on small vessels increases. As a result, the blood circulation of the organs is disrupted, causing them to function worse.
Even with hypertension, a person’s heart may beat stronger and faster, especially during physical activity. The truth is that high blood pressure requires more effort from the heart to pump blood into the vessels. As a result, a person with hypertension often experiences shortness of breath.
“This symptom occurs because the tissues and organs do not have enough oxygen and the body tries to compensate by increasing the breathing rate. “Exercising the heart at an increased rate for a long time can lead to increased fatigue and a general weakening of the body,” the expert explained.
The doctor stated that people with sensitive skin and high blood pressure often experience redness on their faces. This is the body’s response to an attempt to normalize blood pressure.
Another symptom that should alert you is frequent urination, especially at night, Banny warned.
Symptoms may not always indicate hypertension. However, if it did occur, it would be better to see a doctor and get examined, the doctor concluded.
