An increase of blood pressure increases the burden onto the heart, affects
blood vessels making their walls thick and less elastic.
One of the features of the hypertension is its ability to remain unnoticed
for the patient at its early stages. That’s why the self control of the blood
pressure is so important. With the illness progressing, headaches and
regular dizziness appear, the sight declines, the functioning of vitalses
(encephalon, heart, kidneys, blood vessels) breaks down. Without special
treatment the complications of hypertension might be kidney damages,
breast-pang, paralytic stroke, aphasia, dementia, heart attack and stroke.
Which Values are Normal?
Monitoring your routine blood pressure trend helps you to know your
body condition. Human blood pressure naturally increases after reaching
middle age.
This symptom is a result of continuous ageing of the blood vessels. Further
causes include obesity, lack of exercise and cholesterol (LDL) adhering to
the blood vessels, diabetes. Rising blood pressure accelerates hardening
of the arteries, and the body becomes more susceptible to apoplexy and
coronary infarction.
