    Hypertension is a risk factor for many diseases, if you don't **, for example, if you have high blood pressure, you have a lot of bad habits, smoking and drinking, and do not control blood lipids, if blood sugar is still high, so many comprehensive factors, you will definitely develop cardiovascular related diseases early.

    Cardiovascular-related diseases include cerebral infarction, stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, renal arteriosclerosis or renal ischemia, which can lead to uremia requiring dialysis, necrosis of the lower limbs, or avascular necrosis, and even amputation in severe cases.

    It is common in clinical practice, and even causes blindness and deafness, so hypertension, if there is no effective intervention, there will be such results. If you are in the low-risk group and the level of hypertension is not high, you can get an effective management of blood pressure through lifestyle changes or dietary adjustments.

    But if your blood pressure is in the high-risk group, and your blood pressure is very high, and there are many risk factors, and you don't control it, then it's life-threatening.

    We still hope that hypertension can be effectively managed and scientifically managed, but don't listen to slander, don't be superstitious, not very scientific, say that eating mung beans or eating Panax notoginseng can solve all hypertension problems, which must be exaggerated, the role of medicine and the role of food.

    When blood pressure rises, the heart needs to exert more force to pump blood into the aorta, and over time, the heart will thicken and enlarge, and finally heart failure will occur.

    If blood pressure rises sharply in a short period of time, it may burst through the blood vessels and lead to cerebral hemorrhage and aortic dissection, which is directly life-threatening. Long-term chronic blood pressure increases, in order to fight the pressure, the blood vessel wall is bound to thicken, and the lumen of small blood vessels will narrow, resulting in ischemia of the brain, kidneys, heart, etc.; Elevated blood pressure damages the blood vessel wall, and some lipids are deposited into the large vessel wall, resulting in atherosclerosis, angina, myocardial infarction, ischemic cardiomyopathy, etc.

    High blood pressure may cause consequences such as arteriole sclerosis or heart disease.

    Hypertension is associated with arteriolar spasm in the early stages, a process that can be reversed. If blood pressure is not controlled, the disease will gradually progress to irreversible sclerosis of the arterioles. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can cause damage to target organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys.

    Hypertensive heart disease may occur in the heart, with left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction in the early stage, and heart failure in the late stage. At the same time, it can increase the prevalence of coronary heart disease and aortic dissection. It can cause cerebral arteriosclerosis to the brain, and acute cerebral hemorrhage can occur in severe cases.

    For the kidneys, diseases such as hypertensive nephropathy, renal insufficiency, and proteinuria may occur. Therefore, it is necessary to actively detect high blood pressure to reduce the risk of organ function damage. The most common and dangerous complication is damage to the cerebrovascular vessels, often referred to as stroke.

    The second is the damage of the heart blood vessels, which can lead to acute heart failure and chronic heart failure, coronary heart disease and even myocardial infarction. It can also cause acute or chronic renal failure, retinal hemorrhage, limb deformities caused by peripheral arterial vascular blockage, or chronic damage. Nowadays, more and more young people also have the problem of high blood pressure, and when young people have high blood pressure, it may cause greater harm to life and work, so patients with high blood pressure must actively cooperate with the blood pressure lowering **, and need to take some antihypertensive drugs for a long time to control blood pressure.

    Try to eat less foods containing saturated fatty acids, i.e. less fried foods, especially fatty and greasy meat foods. Ensure the intake of vegetables and fruits. Emphasis is placed on fresh vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamins and minerals.

    It's light to a certain extent, but it's more important to eat a balanced diet that also includes certain minerals, electrolytes and proteins.

    High blood pressure is not new to us at all. There are more hypertensive patients in China, and the age of onset of hypertension patients tends to be younger. Most people think that high blood pressure is exclusive to older people and that younger people don't develop it.

    A few days ago, Xiao Li, who had just passed his 38th birthday, passed away due to a stroke caused by high blood pressure, leaving behind a daughter and a frail wife.

    Xiao Li has suffered from hypertension for more than a year or two, and although he is not yet 40 years old, he is also a person with a history of hypertension for five years. After being diagnosed with high blood pressure, Xiao Li didn't care at all, and the family also thought that Xiao Li was young and could carry it without taking medicine. Sometimes, when I measure my blood pressure, I find that I have reached 200, but I don't feel anything, so I never take it seriously.

    In fact, if a patient with high blood pressure does not live in time, the life expectancy will be 15 to 20 years younger than that of a patient. The average life expectancy of Chinese is 76 years, but Xiao Li died at the age of 38.

    When blood pressure rises, some people experience headaches, dizziness, ringing in the ears, insomnia or nausea. However, some people do not have any symptoms of high blood pressure, which is actually more dangerous. Not feeling does not mean that high blood pressure is not harmful, and by the time a stroke or heart attack occurs, it is often too late.

    Patients with high blood pressure, even if their body does not show uncomfortable symptoms, should take antihypertensive drugs on time. Although hypertension is divided into primary hypertension and secondary hypertension, more than 90% of hypertension patients in China are essential hypertension.

    For essential hypertension, there is no possibility of **, and you can only take medication for a long time to lower blood pressure. People with high blood pressure take medications not only to lower blood pressure, but also to reduce the risk of complications, such as stroke, heart attack, and so on.

    Patients with high blood pressure cannot change their medications casually when taking them. Some patients with high blood pressure, when they see that the antihypertensive drugs prescribed by the doctor are more expensive, they go to the pharmacy to buy cheap antihypertensive drugs, thinking that expensive antihypertensive drugs will lead to drug resistance, and there will be no drugs to use in the future.

    In fact, antihypertensive drugs depend on the cost performance, good antihypertensive drugs not only have a good antihypertensive effect, but also have less blood pressure and will not produce drug resistance, so you can take them with confidence.

    Patients with high blood pressure should take their medication on time every day and should not stop taking it casually. If you take the drug for three days to fish and dry the net for two days, it will cause the blood pressure to always be in an unstable state, which is more likely to induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

    For people with high blood pressure, medication** is a must, along with attention to diet**. Diet ** and drugs ** occupy the same status, if you do not control the diet, or eat unscrupulously, the result will also affect the effect of the drug, and even the occurrence of other diseases.

    High blood pressure is one of the common chronic diseases. If you are able to take your medications on time and adjust your diet, you will also improve your quality of life, and the length and breadth of your life will be extended.

    High blood pressure can cause hypertrophy of the heart muscle, which causes the diastolic function of the heart to be reduced, the left atrium is hypertrophied, and atrial arrhythmias can occur, and there can be premature beats and atrial fibrillation (atrial fibrillation). Elevated blood pressure can cause coronary atherosclerosis, and a sharp increase in blood pressure can induce myocardial infarction. In order to meet the myocardial hypertrophy, more oxygen and blood supply are needed, and the heart works to increase oxygen, and the imbalance between supply and demand will induce coronary heart disease.

    These eventually lead to progressive heart failure, with symptoms of hypoxia, ischemia, fatigue, respiratory strain, and limited mobility.

    Diabetes often follows the shadow, which not only makes the damage to the heart and cerebrovascular worse, but also easily harms the kidneys, eyes and other organs. In addition to adhering to reasonable medications**, it is also very important for patients with hypertension and diabetes to pay attention to a reasonable and scientific diet. High blood pressure on the heart:

    Long-term poorly controlled hypertension can lead to left ventricular hypertrophy, enlargement, and eventually heart failure. High blood pressure can promote the formation of coronary arteriosclerosis, which can cause angina, myocardial infarction, aggravate heart failure, and even induce sudden death.

    Need for dialysis), cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, heart failure (limited mobility, wheezing, lower extremity edema), hypertensive encephalopathy (confusion, vomiting, convulsions), occlusive lower extremity arteriosclerosis (pain, coldness, amputation), fundus arteriosclerosis (decreased vision), etc. High blood pressure aggravates the sclerosis of arterioles throughout the body, causing ischemia, hypoxia and impaired function of important organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys; The formation of atherosclerosis, which is easy to cause blood vessel bleeding and thrombosis; Aneurysms can also form, and if blood pressure rises suddenly, the rupture of a hemangioma can be life-threatening.

    Symptoms such as irritability, nausea and vomiting, visual disturbances, convulsions, impaired consciousness, and even coma can often lead to death if left untreated. Due to the effective prevention and treatment of rapidly progressive hypertension, acute nephritis and gestational hypertension, the incidence of this disease has decreased significantly. That's why it's said that a person's lifespan is inversely proportional to blood pressure.

    Essential hypertension is unclear and, therefore, cannot be controlled. **The purpose of hypertension is to prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, improve the quality of life, and prolong the life of patients with hypertension.

    High blood pressure does not lead to damage to organs for a long time, which ultimately affects health and even life safety. Generally, in the early stage of hypertension, patients will not have obvious uncomfortable symptoms, and occasionally atypical symptoms such as dizziness and headache are often ignored. However, if it is not ** for a long time, the mast of blood pressure will be maximized, and a continuous rise in blood pressure will lead to damage to the heart, brain, kidneys and aorta, and eventually lead to serious complications such as cerebral hemorrhage, heart failure, and kidney failure.

    Introduction: Now that the standard of living has improved, many people have the habit of eating takeout, some people have too much pressure in their daily lives, and some elderly people, because of the increase in age, these conditions will lead to high blood pressure. Then many friends will be curious, if you have high blood pressure, what will become of it, at this time, I will introduce it to you.

    Hypertension is an increase in blood pressure, and it can also cause many complications, such as stroke, heart disease, hemangioma, kidney failure, and may cause systemic diseases along with these complications. There are two conditions for the onset of hypertension, genetic and environmental. Suffering from high blood pressure is also a very dangerous thing, there are no symptoms in the early stage, and in the late stage, there may be some obvious changes in the body.

    And as we get older, the incidence increases. High blood pressure is also related to the amount of salt in the stomach that you usually eat? It is also related to weight, generally obese people will have a higher chance of getting high blood pressure than thin people, and there are some environmental and occupational aspects, in a noisy work environment, excessive tension will also suffer from high blood pressure.

    If you suffer from high blood pressure, there will be many adverse effects on the body, and there will be early cardiovascular related diseases, such as cerebral hemorrhage, coronary heart disease, renal ischemia, uremia, once uremia is triggered, it may cause necrosis of the limbs of the body, and severe limbs may need to be amputated. If you have high blood pressure and don't take medicine, your life will be in danger because your blood pressure is too high. High blood pressure is also known as a silent killer, and its disability and mortality rates are very high.

    Although high blood pressure does not affect people's daily life, there are no obvious symptoms. But if it is not ** for a long time, the survival time will be very short, and it will be about 20 years less than the average normal person. And the lethality rate is also very high.

    Therefore, I want to persuade all friends with high blood pressure to be sure to cooperate with the doctor in time.

    If you do not take medicine for high blood pressure in a short period of time, the main long-term consequences are more serious, such as cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, ventricular hypertrophy, aortic dissection, heart failure, kidney failure, fundus hemorrhage, etc.

    If hypertensive patients do not take medication all the time, the blood vessel wall will exist in a high-pressure environment for a long time, the endothelial cells will be damaged and aggravated, the plasma protein will be deposited, the tube wall will continue to be vitreous, and the lumen will become more and more hardened and narrow, and the heart, brain, kidneys, eyes, etc.

    If hypertensive patients are accompanied by coronary heart disease, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia at the same time, but do not take antihypertensive drugs, it will greatly promote the progression of these diseases, and it is easy to cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents.
