Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is often called a “silent killer” because it can develop without obvious symptoms.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to Еlegantwoman.
However, if the pressure rises significantly, a hypertensive crisis may occur, accompanied by intense symptoms such as severe headache on both sides of the head, which may intensify with physical exertion.
Hypertension is also believed to affect the blood-brain barrier, creating excess pressure on the brain, which can lead to blood leaking into its tissues.
In addition to headaches, signs of hypertension include:
— dizziness;
— nosebleed;
— visual impairment;
— increased heart rate;
— nausea;
— clouding of consciousness;
— weakness;
— convulsions;
— fainting;
— agitation.
If the listed symptoms are present, doctors emphasize the need to call an ambulance to receive further assistance.
Recall that it was previously reported that an accurate indicator of the body's aging has been determined: scientists have explained what needs to be checked.
