The number of hypertensive patients is increasing day by day. According to the relevant survey data: 18 years of age or more hypertensive people in the country up to 20-26%.
Hypertension itself is not scary, but it is the adverse consequences caused by long-term hypertension, which can even lead to death. Jing Yu Ma, Department of Cardiology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Henan College of Traditional Chinese Medicine
The most common adverse consequences of hypertension are: cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications. For example, cerebrovascular disease (cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage) can lead to hemiplegia, aphasia, and distorted mouth and eyes. Cardiovascular disease (coronary heart disease, heart failure) in mild cases, chest tightness, chest pain, shortness of breath and panic; in severe cases, shortness of breath, inability to lie down, inability to walk, edema and even death.
Other adverse consequences are: hypertensive kidney failure (eventually requiring dialysis and kidney replacement treatment), arterial vascular endothelial tears (extremely high mortality), fundus vascular sclerosis, hemorrhage, blindness, etc.
Therefore, hypertension must be given high priority. If you do not have hypertension to prevent it in advance, if you already have hypertension must go to the cardiovascular department of a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment in order to avoid adverse consequences and even life-threatening situations.
