What are the symptoms of hypertension

       What are the symptoms of hypertension

They are many and the various diseases related to blood pressure , though it is to hypertension or high voltage more frequent and common in the population. It affects many people and is a risk factor responsible for a considerable number of deaths. The patient who has high blood pressure values ​​does not show clear evidence of this, so it will be necessary to measure the voltage with frequency and follow a control. Still, this umComo article will present in more detail what are the symptoms of hypertension.

1. First, it is worth noting that hypertension is a disease or risk factor (there are different opinions among experts) that on many occasions does not manifest itself in an obvious manner . Some call it "the silent killer" because many people who suffer from hypertension are not aware of it.

   
   
2. Some of the common symptoms of hypertension -even also many other doenças- may be the nausea and dizziness .

   
   
3. In some cases, the blood pressure may even cause :

   • Headaches
   • Weakness
   • Heart palpitations
   •  
4. Although not usual, in case of severe headaches, nausea or vomiting, confusion, changes in vision or nosebleeds, the cause can be a severe form of hypertension known as malignant hypertension.

   
   
5. You see, the symptoms of hypertension are visible. The best way to detect high levels of blood pressure is performing a tracking through periodic reviews . You only need to measure blood pressure and see if the results are within the normal blood pressure values ​​.

   
   
6. It will be especially necessary to consult their levels of blood pressure the people with a family history of hypertension.

It is normal a 90/60 pressure?

                   It is normal a 90/60 pressure?

 

 You just measure the voltage and are not sure if obtained levels are within the normal range of blood pressure? You wonder if it is normal a 90/60 pressure ? Do not worry because in umComo want to give you a hand and take this common question about what is considered low pressure and high or, on the contrary, within the normal range. So pay attention and see your doctor if you have more doubts.

 

What are normal blood pressure?

---

First, fundamental is that you know what the voltage levels considered within normal parameters:

• The systolic pressure should be between 100 and 140 mm , or 10 and 14 cm Hg.
• The diastolic pressure should be kept between 60 and 90 mm ​​or between 6 and 9 cm of Hg.

Thus, the first value indicates the maximum blood pressure when the ventricle contracts -sístole-, while the second value refers to the minimum pressure of the ventricle when arteries are relaxed to the maximum -diástole-. You can expand the information in our article on what are the normal blood pressure values ​​.

It is normal a 90/60 pressure?

---

Thus, if the measure voltage, your blood pressure is 90/60, most likely you have a low voltage, which is known as hypotension. However, you must know that many factors influence blood pressure levels, so your doctor will always be in charge of assessing whether their values ​​are normal.

For example, it is common that young women have lower stress levels than the rest of the population without this necessarily implies that its pressure is too low. Similarly, they can also influence other factors such as time of day that measures pressure, the meals, the season, etc.

What are the symptoms of low blood pressure?

---

If you feel you have low pressure, it is important to know the symptoms of this condition so he could better assess your situation. You can refer to our article What are the symptoms of low pressure to meet them all, even the most prominent are:

• dizziness
• dizziness
• fainting
• weakness
• blurred vision

In any case, it is essential that you see your doctor so he can make a comprehensive and periodic control of their arterial values ​​and determine if you suffer from hypotension. If true, you should also know how to treat hypotension and to follow recommendations.

How to measure blood pressure by palpation method

How to measure blood pressure by palpation method

The arterial hypertension has a high prevalence in the general population reaching 20% of adults. It is characterized by a chronic and silent course, but on occasion may develop complications that require attention in the emergency room. Their prevention and control are important to reduce complications. There is a technique that does not require stethoscope; is palpation method described below.

Directions

---

1. The person should be comfortably seated for several minutes before taking a measurement without crossing your legs.
2. Extend the convenient way of arm on a flat surface of the heart level.
3. The inner bag of rubber should cover 2/3 of the forearm length and be sufficiently long as to cover at least 80% of its circumference.
4. Place the cuff on the arm about 3 cm above the bend of the elbow.
5. Feel the radial pulse on the same side that put the cuff.
6. Fill the compression strap to about 30 mmHg above the reading at which the pulse disappears.
7. Take the air bracelet with convenient speed of 2- 3 mmHg per heart beat.
8. The pressure level at which the pulse reappears is the artery systolic pressure.
9. This method does not allow the diastolic pressure .

What are normal blood pressure values

            What are normal blood pressure values

 

Measure the voltage or measuring our blood pressure is a routine act that we must carry out to make sure that we do not suffer any health problems, such as hypertension (high blood pressure) or hypotension (low blood pressure). Therefore, it is crucial to know how to measure the tension , but it is also necessary to understand the results of this measurement and know what are the normal blood pressure values ​​. UmComo this article we explain in detail.

 

 

 

 

Measured Variables

---

First we must highlight the fact that they are many factors that influence blood pressure values ​​of each person, such as gender, age, habits, diet .. As well as other variables the moment is measured stress as stress, digestion, emotions, excitement, sleep, etc.

For all these circumstances, along with many others, that the numbers have a relative reliability and must be accompanied to the study of all factors. Still, the normal values ​​have been established, within which and taking into account a wide margin, considering a correct blood pressure.

What indicate values

---

The first value indicated in the mercury column sphygmomanometer indicates the maximum pressure of the blood in the arterial network, which corresponds to ventricular contraction (systole) of the heart. While the second number indicates the minim blood pressure in the arteries, diastolic pressure, corresponding to the maximum ventricular relaxation.

In most countries the voltage is expressed in millimeters of mercury, although the Hispanic world can display in centimeters. That is, we speak for example a 24:08 voltage, while in other sides 120 and 80. say that this figure is indicated that our strain is able to climb at 12 cm of mercury column.

Table normal

---

These are the normal values:

• The systolic blood pressure between 10 and 14 cm Hg (100 and 140 mm)
• The diastolic pressure between 6:09 cm ​​Hg (60 and 90mm)

The most recommendable would have a systolic blood pressure that does not exceed 12 cm (maximum 13) and below the diastolic 9 cm Hg. It should be stressed that with age tension tends to rise, since blood vessels lose elasticity. Normal blood pressure values ​​are thus slightly higher during adulthood.

Above these values, stems from hypertension (from 14:09) also known as high blood pressure, while people who have low values ​​are suffering from hypotension , or low voltage.

How do you measure the voltage

---

Currently, the most widely used apparatus to measure the voltage is called a sphygmomanometer , comprising a bag and a rubber bulb connected by a tube to a mercury column register our pressure in centimeters. It is a very simple measurement, which does not imply any kind of pain and is made ​​very quickly.

Why blood pressure rises

                  Why blood pressure rises

The high blood pressure , medically known as hypertension , is a condition that can endanger the cardiovascular health; For this reason it is critical to control its level and keep them within the normal range . There are many medical recommendations to be considered, including major changes in eating habits, but to put them into practice is important to understand before by soaring blood pressure . 

Directions

1. To start you need to understand what is blood pressure : it is the pressure that makes the blood travel through our body reaching all organs. When the blood pressure is low, the patient may experience symptoms such as fatigue or sickness ; On the other hand, if it is high there may not be clear symptoms and still be at risk of cardiac complications.

   
   
2. The blood pressure rises often due to lifestyle habits that influence directly the values, causing them to rise ominously. Some medical conditions increase the risk of suffering hypertension , among them are:

   • Obesity, as excess fat and cholesterol in the body is a factor of high blood pressure.
   • Diabetes also increases the risk of developing hypertension.
   •  
3. Other factors that cause the blood pressure to rise are linked to lifestyle habits. Some habits increase the risk of developing hypertension because it directly influences the blood pressure values, for example:

   • Having a diet high in salt and fat.
   • Smoking.
   • Drink alcohol very frequently.
   • A sedentary lifestyle and lack of physical activity.
   •  
4. Among the reasons why the blood pressure goes up, must also be included the hereditary factors . If an immediate family member have pressure problems, there is more likely to have that too; so it is important to take care of the diet, avoid sedentary lifestyle and follow all signs to prevent high blood pressure .
