Understanding Hypertension: Symptoms and Risks
Hypertension is one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
What is high blood pressure?
Known as high blood pressure, this condition occurs when the force of the blood against the walls of the arteries is constantly high.
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is usually defined as blood pressure above 140/90 mmHg.
What are the symptoms and causes?
Hypertension can often be asymptomatic, but it can also cause headaches, dizziness, and insomnia. Among the causes are family history, excessive salt consumption, alcohol, diabetes, and smoking.

Associated risks include
Stroke: High blood pressure can lead to a stroke, seriously compromising health.
Angina: Hypertension can cause chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart.
Heart attack: High blood pressure can damage the arteries and lead to a heart attack.
Kidney failure: Hypertension can affect the kidneys, leading to kidney failure.
Aortic aneurysm: High pressure can weaken the wall of the aorta, resulting in an aneurysm.
To prevent hypertension and control blood pressure, it is essential to adopt preventive measures:
Regular blood pressure monitoring: Check your blood pressure regularly to keep it under control.
Reducing salt intake: Limit the amount of salt in your diet to help lower blood pressure.
Weight control: Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial to controlling pressure.
Reducing alcohol consumption: Drink in moderation to prevent pressure from rising.
Regular physical exercise: Exercise regularly to strengthen your heart.
