High blood pressure is a serious concern.
Bleeding from the nose and chest pain have been named by experts among the warning symptoms of «jump» in blood pressure.
High blood pressure (hypertension) is a serious disorder in the body that can cause a number of fatal complications. If a person's blood pressure is elevated, their chances of suffering a heart attack or stroke also increase immediately.
But finding out that hypertension is developing can be difficult. Doctors warn that some patients may not show any noticeable signs of the disease at all.
According to experts of the medical resource Healthline, if the «jumped» pressure is manifested by certain symptoms, this may indicate the development of a deadly condition.
“High blood pressure usually rarely has any dramatic symptoms. But if there is a sudden jump, a hypertensive crisis may occur, requiring urgent medical attention, ”the experts said.
The state of hypertensive crisis is characterized by a very sharp increase in blood pressure indicators in a short period of time. Physicians have named six symptoms indicating such a sharp «jump» pressure, requiring an ambulance call. They stated that in some patients, this occurs
- Strong headache,
- anxiety,
- chest pain,
- changes in vision,
- dyspnea,
- nose bleed.
If any of these symptoms develop for no apparent reason, you should seek immediate medical attention, experts shared their recommendation. They emphasize that the development of a dangerous condition of a sharp increase in pressure can lead to serious complications, including fluid in the lungs, cerebral edema or stroke.
Health workers advise adults to check their blood pressure regularly, regardless of how they feel. It is especially important to measure blood pressure after the age of 40. Being overweight or having a lot of salt in your diet increases the likelihood of developing hypertension.
