Causes and Symptoms of Hypertension
As mentioned above, high blood pressure can have many causes. A sedentary lifestyle, taking too much salt, lack of exercise, etc. can all contribute to the condition.
Hormonal changes, kidney disease, heart disease, the use of certain drugs and contraceptives, and the excessive consumption of alcohol can also make the condition worse.
The most common symptoms of high blood pressure are:
- headache
- shortness of breath
- excessive sweating
- a high pulse
- blurred vision
- dizziness
- ringing in the ears
- nosebleeds
- nervousness
- insomnia
- weakness
- fatigue
- palpitations
- seeing dark flying/swirling spots or objects.
High blood pressure is a dangerous condition and can cause strokes, heart attacks and kidney failure. That is why it is important that we keep our blood pressure under control. So measure your blood pressure at least once a week.
Remember that there is no minimum age for developing high blood pressure, although most people are over 30 years old. Blood pressure is measured to see how hard the heart has to work to pump blood around the body (systolic) and how long it rests between each beat (diastolic).
