Signs of hypertension and treatment of hypertension -Severe headache,nose bleeds,fatigue,confusion,vision problems,chest pain dyspnoe,e.t.c-all signs of hypertension and tratment of hypertension are described in detail in this article.This topic has many important perspectives .These are discussed in detail in this article.
Hypertension  is  said to be  a silent  killer.
 In  early  stage  there  are  no  symptoms of hypertension.
Heart  disease and  stroke  are  resulted  only  in  prolonged  ,untreated  cases.
In early  ,mild  cases of  hypertension  there  are no clinical  features  such  as  headache, epistaxis (Epistaxis  is  bleeding through the  nose  which  occurs  when  the  blood  pressure  rises to  very high levels due  to which  the capillaries of the  asal septum cannot  withstand so much  high blood pressure and they  rupture  resulting in  bleeding  through the nose) , giddiness.
So there are  no  warning signs at  all in  early  mild hypertension. So our suggestion is that any  individual  of or  above  40 yrs of age should get his  blood pressure checked by a  qualified and experienced MD General medicine specialist doctor.
Just as we have mentioned in  our  article on symptoms of diabetes on healthuseful.com that all individual of or above the age of  40 yrs should get their Random blood sugar done, whether or not he  has any  symptoms. As  we should  not  wait  for the  day when  symptoms  arise, rather  we  should  know  the  things  well  in  advance rather  than  face  the  problem  when  it  is  too late. healthuseful.com helps  to  increase the  awareness among  the  people. So you may  visit  this website every  10-15 days as new health related articles  are posted in it in this duration  by  MD General Medicine  and  ENT specialist doctors.

You can  purchase  automatic  BP measuring  instrument  at  home -Trade  name -Omron-is very  popular in  India.
Normal  range  of  systolic  blood pressure should  not  be more than  120 mm  Hg and normal diastolic blood pressure should be  below  80 mm Hg.
At risk  or prehypertension  means  systolic blood pressure of
120-139 mm Hg and  diastolic blood pressure between  80-89 mm Hg . If  systolic blood pressure  is  140 my Hug or  more and  if  diastolic blood pressure is  90 mm Hg  or  more  then  it is   hypertension .
Headache ,epistaxis occur  in  hypertensive crises.
Hypertensive  crisis  occurs when  the  systolic  blood pressure rises  above  180 mm Hg and  the  diastolic blood pressure rises  above  120 mmHg .
Epistaxis  ,headache,chest,pain, seizures ,difficulties in breathing, bleeding through  urine, irregular heartbeat, pounding  in  neck, ears, chest, dizziness, nervousness,bleeding spots in eyes, facial flushing, sweating,organ damage, pulmonary  oedema, heart attack, bleeding into  brain(stroke),aneurysm (aortic  dissection), can  occur in  this  situation.
In such  cases an  ambulance  should be  called for  which  has  oxygen  facility, with  minimum  2 wardboys  and  attitude to  shift the patient  in  hospital of a  qualified and experienced MD General Medicine doctors.
SCAD-Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a condition  which  can  occur in  cases of  extreme  hypertension in  which there is tear  of coronary artery-thereby  reducing  the  blood  supply to the heart.
Symptoms of  SCAD are  almost  same  as  myocardial infarction.
In such cases, an ambulance should be called which has an oxygen facility, with minimum  2 ward boys and attitude to shift the patient in the hospital of a  qualified and experienced MD General Medicine doctor.
A brief introduction to  Hypertension-
What is blood pressure?
Basically, all have blood pressure.
Blood  pressure is  the  pressure  exerted  by the  flowing  blood  on  the walls of the  blood  vessels. It  also  helps  to  counteract  the  atmospheric  blood pressure which is  acting  on  us.
In  India  when we say that some  individual has  blood pressure problem  then  it  means that  his blood pressure is  elevated.
Blood pressure should  always  remain in the normal range. If  it  is  above  or below the normal range, it  can  cause problems. Hypertension means  elevated  blood pressure .Diastolic  blood  pressure  increases  as the  resistance of peripheral  blood  vessels  increases due to  increase  in  hardness, decrease in  elasticity ,elevated  cholesterol levels elevated  blood sugar  levels and  various other  reasons  that  we  can  discuss later  in  this  article.
Treatment of  hypertension.-
Life style  change  is  important  in  this.
Hurry, worry and  curry are  the three  things  that  should be  avoided.
Nowadays  all  want to achieve  success  in very  small amount of time.
Perseverance and  patience  are not known  or  acceptable  to  most of the people.
Certain  philosophy things are also important  in  this.
Always  do  the  ethical  things.
People  doing  unethical  things, for them  their  inner  subconsciousness always does criticism to them.
So although  they may  become  successful, they  never become  happy.
On the  contrary  an individual  doing ethical  things may  not  earn  much  in life, but  definitely  he has  got  peace of mind.
Always  try to  remain satisfactory  in  life.
Our  work is to do  efforts  only, whether  we will receive reward  order  not  it is  entirely  in  the  hands of  God, so always  do  ethical  things  and  forget  about the  result .
Afterall if  you  have  lot of  wealth  but  no  health  then  the  wealth is  totally  useless.
Peace of  mind  is  extremely  important  in  life.
Physical  exercise –
High  intensity  exercise  for  75 minutes  per week
OR 150 minutes  moderate  exercise  per  week  is  recommended for hypertension  patients.
Before  that  aged  patients  or  patients  above  age  of  40 yrs  should  undergo  an ECG, or  Stress  ECG  to  avoid  untoward  things, as  per  consultantation  of your  qualified and experienced MD General Medicine doctor.
Activities  suggested -walking  at  least  45 minutes per  day

Cycling
Swimming .
Stress relaxation techniques like-
Yoga
Meditation

Treatment  of  hypertension –
Nowadays  we find people making diagnosis  and  treatment  directly  from Google -which  should not be done  at all.
These  things  are  just to  increase  your  knowledge.
We  always  recommend  treatment  from  qualified  experienced MD General Medicine  doctor.
Medications  for  hypertension –
Diuretics,
Beta blockers,
Central  agonists,
Calcium  channel  blockers ,vasodilators,
Ace  inhibitors,
Blood pressure should always remain in the normal range. If  it  is  above  or below the normal range, it  can  cause problems. Hypertension means  elevated  blood pressure .Diastolic  blood  pressure  increases  as the  resistance of peripheral  blood  vessels  increases due to  increase  in  hardness, decrease in  elasticity ,elevated  cholesterol levels elevated  blood sugar  levels and  various other  reasons  that  we  can  discuss later  in  this  article.
