Symptoms of hypertension Patients suffering from hypertension, the “invisible killer”, can have no symptoms, most patients have no symptoms after an abnormal rise in blood pressure, but a small number of people will feel dizziness, headache, fatigue, palpitations, etc. The severity of symptoms is not consistent with the level of blood pressure. Hypertension is dangerous because of its damage to various organs (heart, brain, kidney, etc.) Hypertension is dangerous to the heart The left ventricle gradually becomes hypertrophic. Myocardial hypertrophy causes and aggravates myocardial ischemia, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, and the risk of coronary heart disease is 2-4 times higher in patients with hypertension than in normal people. Compared to people without hypertension, the risk of heart failure is at least six times higher in hypertensive patients. Hypertension harms the brain Hypertension causes blockage of arterial blood vessels in the brain, causing paralysis and speech problems. Hypertension increases the brittleness of the walls of the cerebral blood vessels, predisposing them to rupture and cerebral hemorrhage. Compared with people without hypertension, the risk of stroke increases fourfold in people with hypertension. Hypertension is harmful to the kidneys Long-term hypertension causes progressive decline in kidney function, and for every 5 mmHg reduction in diastolic blood pressure, the risk of uremia is reduced by at least 25%. Hypertension is harmful to the eyes. It causes bleeding in the fundus of the eye, loss of vision, and even blindness.
