High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure comes with the increasment of your blood pressure to unhealthy levels. It is determined by how much blood the heart pumps into your arteries and the resistance of the arteries. If an artery becomes too narrow, it’s harder for the heart to pump the blood meaning the more blood your heart pumps and the narrower your arteries are, the higher your blood pressure. Hypertension is often a silent condition with no obvious symptoms but it can lead to serious health problems in the long term.

Symptoms

    Headache
    Fatigue
    Vision Problems
    Chest Pain
    Difficulty Breathing
    Irregular Heartbeat
    Blood in the Urine
    Pounding in chest, neck or ears

What To Expect

Hypertension's or high blood pressure's most dangerous aspect is that it appears often without any symptoms. Only in extreme cases there may be symptoms that indicate that you're suffering from high blood pressure.

Made Worse By

There's mostly no known exact cause for hypertension but it's a fact that smoking, being obese, lack of physical activity, too much salt consumption and many other things can be the reason and cause for suffering from high blood pressure.

Diagnosed By

High blood pressure can easily be diagnosed by simply measuring the blood pressure with a pressure-measuring gauge. If you own such a device you can even diagnose it by yourself.

Caution Seek professional advice, if high blood pressure occurs often or if already taking blood thinning medication.
