Severe hypertension?

summary

Severe hypertension refers to hypertension with diastolic blood pressure greater than 15.3kpa (115mmhg). Acute malignant hypertension also belongs to the category of severe hypertension. Hypertension is a clinical syndrome mainly manifested by increased systemic arterial pressure. It can cause a series of symptoms, reduce the quality of life and work of patients, and even threaten life. Long term hypertension can affect the function of important organs, especially heart, brain and kidney, and eventually lead to organ failure. Severe hypertension? Let's talk about it

Severe hypertension?

First: insomnia: it is difficult to fall asleep, wake up early, sleep is not steady, easy to have nightmares, easy to wake up. This is related to the dysfunction of cerebral cortex and autonomic nervous system. Repeated transient vertigo, visual rotation, a few seconds later will return to normal. Medically known as TIA, that is, transient ischemic attack.

Second: headache: the location of the brain, and accompanied by nausea, vomiting and other symptoms. If you often feel headache, and very severe, and nausea at the same time, it may be a signal to malignant hypertension. If there is no fatigue, lack of sleep and other reasons, continuous yawning, which may be due to cerebral arteriosclerosis, ischemia, resulting in chronic cerebral ischemia and hypoxia performance.

Third: palpitation, shortness of breath: hypertension can lead to myocardial hypertrophy, heart enlargement, myocardial infarction, cardiac insufficiency. These are symptoms that lead to palpitations and shortness of breath. Monocular suddenly black, can't see things, a few seconds or dozens of seconds later completely returned to normal, is caused by retinal ischemia caused by cerebral ischemia.

matters needing attention

Don't reduce blood pressure blindly. First of all, we should find out whether hypertension is caused by kidney disease, pheochromocytoma, hypercortisolism, pregnancy poisoning, and large artery disease. It is necessary to find out the cause and treat it symptomatically. Hypertension is a disease that can be prevented and controlled. People with normal high blood pressure of 130-139 / 85-89 mmHg, overweight / obesity, long-term high salt diet and excessive drinking should be given key intervention, regular physical examination and active control of risk factors.
