Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
Hypertension untreated can lead to fatal dangers. Recognize the following symptoms of hypertension.
Hypertension occurs when blood pressure increases unhealthily. In the long term, blood pressure that continues to rise can lead to other health problems such as heart attacks and strokes.
American Heart Association said, systolic blood pressure in the range of 130-139 mm Hg and diastolic 80-89 mmHg are included in the category of stage 1 hypertension. If it continues to increase to more than 180/120 mmHg, it is a hypertensive emergency.
Many things cause hypertension. One of them is genetic factors that are inherited from parents.
In addition, lifestyle factors also contribute to triggering hypertension. Minimal physical activity and poor diet can lead to hypertension. Being overweight is also a trigger for hypertension.
However, unfortunately hypertension does not produce certain specific symptoms. New symptoms appear when hypertension is in danger.
Quoting WebMDHere are the symptoms of hypertension to watch out for:
– severe headache
– nosebleed
– tired
– sight problem
– chest pain
– it’s hard to breathe
– irregular heartbeat
– blood in the urine
palpitations in the chest, neck, or ears
Some of the other symptoms associated with high blood pressure but are not common include:
– dizzy
– nervous
– sweating
– hard to sleep
– blood spots in the eye
If you experience any of the symptoms to watch out for above, see a doctor immediately. Untreated conditions can lead to a heart attack or stroke.
It should also be noted that not all hypertension causes nosebleeds. If your blood pressure gauge is high enough, then try resting for 5 minutes and checking your blood pressure again. If the blood pressure is still very high, then immediately contact the nearest health service.
It is important to check blood pressure regularly. The American Heart Association recommends adults with normal blood pressure to have their blood pressure checked every year for early detection.
