Signs of high pressure High pressure   are pronounced in advanced disease. High blood pressure can be a sign of serious illness. When the disease has only just begun, the patient usually does not notice the high blood pressure High blood pressure - one of the most frequent pathologies Often it is detected by chance.

Which diseases can increase the pressure

Blood pressure (BP) increases in many diseases. Sustained increase in blood pressure over 140/90 mmHg It called hypertension. Arterial hypertension (AH) can develop in very many diseases, but most often it occurs in diseases of the kidney, heart, thyroid or adrenal glands. Very often, when examining these patients are no other diseases, in addition to consistently high blood pressure is not detected. In this case we speak about essential hypertension or hypertension.

A special feature of hypertension is that at the beginning, in the early stages, the disease often goes unnoticed and high blood pressure is detected by accident, sometimes during a baseline medical examination. Sometimes this asymptomatic continues until the appearance of complications such as thrombosis, leading to the development of stroke, myocardial infarction, and so on.

Initial signs of high blood pressure

Increased blood pressure occurs gradually, often unnoticed by the patient. But if attentive to their health, we can see such conditions as fatigue, weakness, decreased performance, sleepiness during the day and insomnia at night, irritability.

Sometimes on this background, headaches or dizziness, but they are not expressed or permanent nature. All the symptoms of the disease is unclear, uncertain, the majority of patients do not pay attention to it. This state can last for a long time. Sometimes, the first signs that make draw attention to themselves, is a sign of a hypertensive crisis, it is a complete surprise to the patient.

How does a hypertensive crisis in the early stages of the disease

In the early stages of the disease hypertensive crises often related to stress and the release of adrenaline in the blood. This dramatically increases blood pressure, there is a heightened heartbeat, breathing, tremors throughout the body, headache, dizziness, pain in the heart.

It is best in this case will help calm, soothing medicines and timely call an ambulance. Emergency doctor typically enters the patient drugs that reduce blood pressure and recommends that you contact a physician.

How does high blood pressure in the future

The external signs of elevated pressure and subsequently expressed slightly. Over time, there are pressing pain in the heart, headaches, pain and discomfort in the eyes. Gradually the symptoms of high blood pressure are constant and less dependent on stress. BP steadily increased, without the use of drugs is not substantially reduced.

Hypertensive crises alter its character. They start with a very strong rise in blood pressure, accompanied by nausea, vomiting and severe headache Headache . Often during crises disturbed vision, there are "flying flies" and dark spots before the eyes. Sometimes, there are signs of transient ischemic attack in the form of neurological symptoms - movement disorders or speech, which may take place as soon as the crisis is over and can be kept for some time. Hypertensive crisis of this kind can last from several hours to several days and rarely passes on their own without the use of drugs.

During such crises blood pressure rises to very high numbers - up to 200/100 - 240/120 mm Hg. Art. and higher. Great risk of developing complications such as hemorrhagic stroke and myocardial infarction. Therefore, such patients should always, regardless of blood pressure to take drugs, maintaining its normal figures and avoid the development of crises.

Signs of complications of high blood pressure

Sustained increase in blood pressure affects the state of all organs and tissues. But especially in the heart, brain and kidneys. In these organs develop sclerotic changes that lead to disruption of their function. In the heart there is a constant pressing pain, swelling in the legs, shortness of breath (decreased cardiac contractility as a pump and there is stagnation of blood). Cardiovascular disease can lead to the appearance of swelling throughout the body and very strong dyspnea.

Due to the development of sclerotic changes suffer kidney, renal failure develops. Sclerotic changes in the brain leads to impaired memory and intellect.

Symptoms of high blood pressure should be known to everyone for their time to notice and seek medical advice.
