*High blood pressure* ➖Are u troubled with BP which is always high
*Hypertension* is condition in which the force of the blood against the artery walls is too high.
➖Usually hypertension is defined as blood pressure above 140/90
➖Is considered severe if the pressure is above 180/120.
*Symptoms*
➖Most people with high blood pressure have no signs or symptoms, even if blood pressure readings reach dangerously high levels.
A few people with high blood pressure may have
✅headaches,
✅shortness of breath
✅ nosebleeds
✅Sharp chest pain
✅Pulputations
but these signs and symptoms aren't specific and usually don't occur until high blood pressure has reached a severe or life-threatening stage.
*Uncontrolled high* blood pressure can lead to complications including:
*✅Heart attack or stroke.* High blood pressure can cause hardening and thickening of the arteries (atherosclerosis), which can lead to a heart attack, stroke or other complications.
*✅Aneurysm.* Increased blood pressure can cause your blood vessels to weaken and bulge, forming an aneurysm. If an aneurysm ruptures, it can be life-threatening.
*✅Heart failure.* To pump blood against the higher pressure in your vessels, the heart has to work harder. This causes the walls of the heart's pumping chamber to thicken (left ventricular hypertrophy). Eventually, the thickened muscle may have a hard time pumping enough blood to meet your body's needs, which can lead to heart failure.
*✅Weakened and narrowed blood vessels in your kidneys.* This can prevent these organs from functioning normally.
*✅Thickened, narrowed or torn blood vessels in the eyes*. This can result in vision loss.
*✅Metabolic syndrome*. This syndrome is a group of disorders of your body's metabolism, including increased waist size, high triglycerides, decreased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (the "good" cholesterol), high blood pressure and high insulin levels. These conditions make you more likely to develop diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
*✅Trouble with memory or understanding.* Uncontrolled high blood pressure may also affect your ability to think, remember and learn. Trouble with memory or understanding concepts is more common in people with high blood pressure.
*✅Dementia.* Narrowed or blocked arteries can limit blood flow to the brain, leading to a certain type of dementia (vascular dementia). A stroke that interrupts blood flow to the brain also can cause vascular dementia.
