Hypertension
- Some people continue their lives unaware of high blood pressure. However, this condition acts as a silent killer, slowly damaging organs and leading to their failure, which can result in organ insufficiency. If blood pressure exceeds 140/90 mmHg, this may indicate hypertension. However, a diagnosis should not be made based on a single blood pressure measurement. It is necessary to consult a doctor for this.
- Signs of hypertension:
- • Headache
- • Dizziness
- • Shortness of breath
- • Palpitations
- • Vision disturbances, double vision
- • Stuttering
- • Tingling sensation in the face and body
- Causes of hypertension:
- • Genetic factors
- • Excess weight
- • Diabetes mellitus
- • Excessive salt intake
- • Sedentary lifestyle
- • Harmful habits
- • Stress
- If hypertension is not treated in time, it can lead to serious life-threatening conditions such as stroke, myocardial infarction, organ failure, brain hemorrhages, and other risks.
