The dangers of hypertension – what diseases it can cause

  Since hypertension is mostly asymptomatic or has only headache, head heaviness, dizziness, tinnitus, panic, shortness of breath or numbness in the hands and feet, it is easily confused with other diseases, or is simply thought to be caused by poor rest or a cold. Often, it is only when the condition worsens and serious complications and corresponding symptoms appear that attention is drawn to it. However, at this time has caused serious damage to the patient.  Hypertension is the most important risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and as blood pressure rises, the chances of patients developing heart, brain, kidney, vascular and fundus lesions increase. For example, hypertension can cause myocardial infarction and heart failure, lead to renal insufficiency in patients, cause atherosclerosis and ischemia in the fundus of the patient’s eyes, which can seriously lead to blindness, etc.  In China, hypertension has become the leading cause of stroke. Stroke is a life-threatening disease, and even through treatment and rescue, it often leaves lifelong disabilities such as hemiplegia and aphasia, and can seriously lead to loss of life.  Therefore, patients with hypertension should be found in time and treated as early as possible.
