    Temperature at blood pressure



    High blood pressure and temperature are an alarming sign of various diseases.

    If two symptoms are observed at the same time, people begin to be treated for flu, colds and other viral diseases. This puts life in danger.

    After all, high blood pressure can signal problems with the heart. High body temperature and high blood pressure, accompanied by other symptoms, may indicate damage to the organs of the endocrine system, kidney disease and malfunction of the autonomic system. In this case, it is important to consult a doctor in time, and not to self-medicate.

    When pressure is a symptom

    The normal temperature is considered to be between 36 and 37 degrees. An increase in body temperature above 37 shows that not everything is in order with the body, it requires special attention to itself.

    In some cases, a person with hypertension may have a lower body temperature, it can be below not only 37, but also 36 degrees. In this case, we can talk about a vegetative disorder.

    The combination of hypertension and fever is dangerous for people with heart problems. However, these indicators do not always indicate only problems with the heart and blood vessels. Pressure may be just a symptom.

    Some organs can be affected and also lead to high blood pressure.

    These include:

    • adrenal glands;
    • thyroid;
    • kidneys.

    Problems with the adrenal glands

    The kidney regulates blood pressure. Sometimes a tumor called a pheochromocytoma develops in the adrenal gland, a tiny gland above the kidney. It produces hormones that we have when we are stressed.

    If stress does not always occur and these hormones are rarely produced, then with a tumor they are produced constantly and in large quantities. This leads to an increase in blood pressure, and sometimes the body temperature can rise by several divisions - up to 37 degrees and above.

    Inside the tumor there is a huge amount of adrenergic hormones, which, if they are constantly released, lead to everyday pressure. This situation requires examination and treatment to specialists. The delivery of urine will show how many stress hormones are in the daily urine.

    Pathology of the thyroid gland

    Elevated thyroid function causes a huge amount of hormones that affect the cardiovascular system. The heart beats faster, blood volume increases.

    The examination in such a situation will consist of an ultrasound and a study of thyroid hormones.

    kidney disease

    The narrowing of the renal artery in the kidney causes high blood pressure and an increase in temperature.

    In this situation, much less blood enters the kidney. The kidney "understands" that the pressure is low and begins to produce substances that retain fluid and increase blood pressure. This pressure is difficult to treat with antihypertensive drugs. In this case, the doctor prescribes an ultrasound of the renal artery. Thanks to this study, the location of the narrowing is determined, so in the future it is possible to expand the vessel. Through a puncture in the thigh, the doctor inflates and enlarges the narrow passage. As a result, the kidney receives normal blood flow, pressure normalizes, body temperature returns to normal.

    What is the difference between a hypertensive crisis and hypertension

    Hypertension can be life threatening in the long term, and a hypertensive crisis is already life threatening. High blood pressure is a real threat if there is damage to the internal organs. At this point, high blood pressure is accompanied by the following symptoms.

    This:

    • sharp pain in the chest;
    • increased shortness of breath;
    • pulmonary edema;
    • body temperature above 37 degrees;
    • disturbance of consciousness;
    • neurological disorders or paralysis;
    • impaired renal function;
    • bursting headache.

    The pressure gets higher and higher, the vessel breaks and a brain hemorrhage begins. These are the threats of hypertension, so you need to measure the pressure and keep it at a normal level. Even if the blood pressure is low, it is still necessary to be treated. To treat in this situation is to prevent pressure rises.

    The crisis affects the following organs:

    • heart;
    • brain.

    A hypertensive crisis with complicated symptoms must be treated in a hospital. In such situations, you need to urgently call an ambulance. If the blood pressure is above 180 mm Hg. Art., but you feel fine, then you can be treated at home under the supervision of a doctor. You need to reduce the pressure slowly and gradually. With a rapid decrease in pressure, bleeding of the brain occurs, which leads to a stroke, and sometimes to myocardial infarction. There are situations in which you need to reduce the pressure quickly. This is an aortic rupture. In the hospital, this is done within 10-15 minutes. The medicines that the doctor will prescribe should be with you in your pocket or home first aid kit.

    High blood pressure and adrenal swelling

    The adrenal gland is a triangular cap above the kidneys. The adrenal glands secrete hormones that regulate fluid in our body, blood pressure and water-salt balance. A tumor of the adrenal glands, an aldosteroma, causes bouts of very high blood pressure. This is a tumor that is larger than a centimeter, produced by aldosterone. This is a hormone that is responsible for the water-salt balance of our body. The volume of circulating fluid regulates blood pressure in humans. This tumor is most often benign and is located on the left side.

    So, the pathology is produced by the hormone aldosterone, which retains fluid in the human body. Salt attracts fluid, increases blood volume and increases blood pressure. Aldosterone does not allow the fluid to come out, so it becomes more and more. But our circulatory system is closed, it does not expand. Vessels are bursting from high blood pressure. Conditions for hypertension are created. As a symptom of this condition - fever.

    Complications of this tumor are strokes and cerebral hemorrhages. With the accumulation of sodium in the body, potassium is excreted.

    A low concentration of potassium leads to:

    • first to cramps in the muscles of the body;
    • then to the general weakness of the muscles of the body.

    Often the tumor is not visible, so an ultrasound examination is not enough. It is necessary to take blood tests for adrenal hormones. Aldosteroma treatment includes dietary modification: foods high in potassium reduce cramps and muscle weakness.

    These include:

    • dried apricots,
    • cocoa,
    • chard (beet tops).

    Salt must be completely eliminated. The tumor must be removed, if this is not possible, then the drugs prescribed by the doctor are connected.

    High blood pressure and a temperature above 37 degrees are just symptoms of various diseases, but they need to be taken seriously and not self-medicate, but consult a doctor. He will prescribe additional examinations that will establish the causes of an unpleasant symbiosis - temperatures above 37 and pressure.
