Don’t ignore high blood pressure, as it is the most harmful if left untreated!

Many people believe that although the incidence of diseases such as high blood pressure is relatively high in modern society, it is not considered a major disease compared to diseases such as AIDS and cancer. Some experts disagree with this. If high blood pressure is not a major disease, it would not bring such serious harm to patients as the following.

Headache

The headaches are usually located at the back of the head, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, etc. If you often have severe headaches, and feel nausea and vomiting at the same time, it may be a sign of a transition to severe hypertension.

Dizziness

May feel it when squatting or standing up suddenly; tinnitus, tinnitus in both ears, lasting for a long time;

Palpitations and shortness of breath

High blood pressure can lead to myocardial hypertrophy, heart enlargement, myocardial infarction, and heart failure, all of which are symptoms that lead to palpitations and shortness of breath;

Insomnia

Most of them are difficulty falling asleep, waking up early, restless sleep, nightmares, and easy awakening. This is related to cerebral cortex dysfunction and autonomic nervous system dysfunction;

Limb numbness

Common symptoms include numbness in the fingers and toes, a tingling sensation on the skin, and stiff fingers. Other parts of the body may also experience numbness, abnormal sensations, or even hemiplegia.

Damage to blood vessels

High blood pressure aggravates the sclerosis of small arteries throughout the body, causing ischemia, hypoxia and functional damage to important organs such as the heart, brain and kidneys; it forms atherosclerosis, which is prone to cause vascular hemorrhage and thrombosis; it can also form aneurysms. Once the blood pressure rises sharply, the rupture of the aneurysm is life-threatening.

Damage to the heart

High blood pressure increases the burden on the heart, making ventricular hypertrophy more likely to occur, which can further lead to hypertensive heart disease, coronary heart disease, heart failure, and heart rhythm disorders.
