People with high blood pressure that are not treated
As I grew older, the blood pressure of my classmates and friends around me began to rise, and I often didn't care too much, at which point I would tell them about the patients I was treating.
I am a critical care doctor, and every month I will treat several patients in their 30s, all because of cerebral hemorrhage caused by high blood pressure, some people do not know that they have high blood pressure, and some people know that they have high blood pressure but do not control it.
There are more than 300 million people with hypertension in the mainland, of which nearly half of them do not know that they have high blood pressure, and nearly half of those who know that they have high blood pressure are not controlled at all, and half of the people who take medicine control have blood pressure that is not controlled within the rational range.
People with long-term hypertension without control and people with blood pressure control in the ideal range will have a shortened life expectancy of 10-15 years, and the short life expectancy is caused by serious complications of long-term high blood pressure.
So what serious complications can high blood pressure lead to? The following are all:
The dangers of high blood pressure
1. Early effects on the body: headache, if you often feel headache, it may also cause nausea and nausea, dizziness and tinnitus, palpitations, insomnia, limb numbness, etc.
2, the harm of the middle and late stages: cause and aggravate the all-round arteriosclerosis, the formation of atherosclerosis, resulting in blood vessels thrombosis, resulting in a great increase in the probability of arterial formation of aneurysms, increasing the burden on the heart, prone to ventricular hypertrophy, further hypertensive heart disease, coronary heart disease, etc., hypertension is the first cause of cerebral hemorrhage and at the same time hypertension is also easy to lead to cerebral infarction, hypertension can also make the kidney atrophy, hypertensive nephropathy and so on.
3. Serious complications of shortening life expectancy due to high blood pressure
Long-term uncontrolled hypertension is the most direct blow to the human heart and brain, resulting in serious complications.
(1) Cerebrovascular accident: hypertension cerebral hemorrhage is the first cause of cerebral hemorrhage, accounting for about 70%; why hypertension can also cause cerebral infarction, mainly because of cerebral vascular hardening after hypertension, and even the formation of plaques, resulting in cerebrovascular narrowing, a little volume deficiency, cerebral vascular serious contraction, it is easy to form occlusion on the cerebral infarction.
(2) Hypertensive nephropathy, and even renal failure: long-term hypertension can lead to renal arteriolar sclerosis, and for a long time, azotemia and uremia will occur.
(3) Cause heart disease or even sudden death: after the blood pressure increases, the heart will need more work to pump blood, so that the left ventricular load increases, resulting in left ventricular hypertrophy, susceptible to cardiac lawyer disorders, coronary heart disease, is a high risk factor for sudden death. Sudden death from coronary heart disease (4) leads to a variety of other serious diseases: such as heart failure, aortic dissection, fundus bleeding and blindness.
If you have any symptoms, you should suspect high blood pressure
For most people, if blood pressure is mildly elevated, there is generally no obvious abnormality. However, if the blood pressure rises further, the following symptoms may occur, but they are often ignored. This is also the reason why many people with high blood pressure claim that they "don't feel it.".
But the symptoms of hypertension are not all directly proportional to blood pressure. Some patients have low blood pressure but many symptoms, while others have high blood pressure but their symptoms are not obvious.
1. Headache: most of the parts are in the back of the brain, and some will have symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.
2, dizziness: especially when suddenly squatting or standing up to feel a sense of caution.
3. Tinnitus: most binaural tinnitus, lasting a long time.
4. Insomnia: mostly difficulty falling asleep, waking up early, sleep is not steady, easy to have nightmares, easy to wake up.
5. Limb numbness: it is common for fingers, toes to be numb or skin like ant walking, and fingers are not flexible.
The above symptoms are common manifestations of hypertension patients, but these symptoms are not unique to hypertension, many diseases can have such symptoms, even if the rest is not good, there will be such symptoms, when these symptoms appear, and will appear for several consecutive days, be sure to measure the blood pressure, if the blood pressure is high, it must be treated.
