    One of the most common diseases is hypertension. Every day, this disease is diagnosed in hundreds of different people around the world. This disease is quite dangerous for a person, because if the patient is not given first aid in a timely manner, then serious complications can arise for health. One of the most important symptoms of hypertension is high blood pressure, and the remaining symptoms need to be understood in more detail in order to determine the development of the disease as early as possible.

    What is hypertension

    This disease is a rather specific phenomenon in which the level of blood pressure rises significantly. A fairly large number of different factors can provoke the development of this disease.

    Most often, the main reasons for its development are:

    • Heart diseases.
    • Vascular diseases.
    • Diseases of the kidneys.

    It is this kind of disease that most strongly affects the level of blood pressure.

    SmokingIn addition, factors such as:

    • Smoking.
    • Alcohol abuse.
    • Weather changes.
    • hereditary predisposition.

    All of these factors can affect blood pressure levels, however, as a rule, their effect is negligible.

    Like other ailments, arterial hypertension has a number of specific signs that indicate its development:

    • Headache.
    • Pain in the region of the heart.
    • Visual disturbances.
    • Noise in ears.
    • Impaired coordination.
    • Weakness.

    HeadacheThe development of the disease occurs in several main stages:

    1. This stage is characterized by a slight increase in pressure. As a rule, during this period, the main symptoms of the disease are rather weakly expressed.
    2. At this stage of development, the level of blood pressure rises significantly. There is such a symptom as weakness. Also dizzy. Most often, the cause of this phenomenon is a violation of blood circulation in the brain.
    3. This is the last and most severe stage of the disease. The main symptoms on it are manifested as clearly as possible. Also quite often there are hypertensive crises. The reasons for this phenomenon can be very diverse.

    Complications in hypertension

    As already mentioned, this phenomenon is quite dangerous for health. Most often, in the last stages of the development of the disease, crises often occur, which are accompanied by severe weakness.

    • Heart attack.

    This complication is characterized by the fact that the plaque completely covers the lumen of the vessel and thus the blood stops flowing to the organs. The main sign that means the development of this phenomenon is that the head is spinning. Severe nausea may also occur.

    • Edema of internal organs.

    Quite often, with the development of such a phenomenon in the body, there is a significant accumulation of excess fluid. In this condition, the head is very dizzy and nausea is manifested.

    • Hemorrhage.

    Heart hurtsThis is one of the most common consequences, as a rule, its occurrence is evidenced by the fact that the patient is very dizzy and vomiting is observed. Quite often, hemorrhage is accompanied by nausea for several days.

    • Heart failure.

    This kind of complication primarily affects the work of the heart. That is why its main symptom is pain in the chest area.

    • Death.

    The causes of the crisis lie in excessive pressure on the vessels, so if the patient is not helped in time, this can provoke cardiac arrest, and as a result, death.

    Long-term consequences

    However, this is not all the consequences that can occur with arterial hypertension. A very significant role is played by the so-called long-term consequences that occur after several crises. One of the most common consequences is that patients begin to feel dizzy. The reasons that dizziness, according to experts, may be different. But they all agree that most often the cause is a violation of blood supply in the brain. This phenomenon is very dangerous for health, so if you feel dizzy or feel sick with high blood pressure, you should immediately consult a doctor.

    PillsAs a rule, to find out the reason why the patient is dizzy, specialists prescribe the passage of additional studies. Treatment of this phenomenon is most often carried out with the help of physiotherapy. Also, quite often, experts prescribe special pills that normalize the condition. Most often, the head stops spinning after about a month of treatment.

    However, in some cases, the fact that the patient is dizzy may not be associated with arterial hypertension. Quite often this phenomenon is observed at normal pressure. It should be noted right away that under normal pressure, this phenomenon means the development of serious diseases.

    As a rule, under normal pressure, the head is spinning due to:

    • Minier's disease.
    • anemia.
    • Migraine.
    • neoplasms.
    • Changes in intracranial pressure.

    These ailments are extremely dangerous for the body, therefore, if such a phenomenon is observed at normal pressure, it is urgent to consult a doctor to determine its cause.

    Nausea with hypertension

    Quite often, hypertension is accompanied by such a phenomenon as nausea. This phenomenon is the occurrence of unpleasant sensations in the pharynx. In fact, this phenomenon precedes vomiting.

    The causes of such a phenomenon as nausea lie in the features of the increase in pressure in hypertension. As a rule, an increase in blood pressure is accompanied by an increase in heart rate and an increase in total blood volume, as well as cerebrospinal fluid. Such a sign as nausea just indicates an increased and accelerated production of cerebrospinal fluid.

    In addition, with hypertension, namely during a crisis, the cause of such a phenomenon as nausea may be due to the fact that with a significant increase in blood pressure, all the body's defenses are activated. Namely, the brain receives a signal about an excess amount of fluid, and as a result, the body tries to get rid of it.

    NauseaThat is why in hypertension, and especially in a crisis, there is:

    • Nausea.
    • Sweating.
    • Frequent urination.
    Most often, this phenomenon is accompanied by weakness. It is worth noting that dizziness with increased pressure, which accompanies weakness and vomiting, can mean a serious increase in blood pressure, therefore, if such symptoms appear, you should consult a specialist.

    Treatment of arterial hypertension

    It should be noted that the treatment of arterial hypertension should be carried out under the strict supervision of a physician. That is why when the first signs of illness appear, you need to seek help.

    As a rule, treatment is carried out with the help of antihypertensive drugs. These tablets reduce blood pressure in hypertension and reduce the risk of complications.

    • General state.
    • Weakness.
    • The degree of arterial hypertension.

    Quite often, pills such as diuretics are used. These tablets help to gently reduce pressure and remove excess fluid from the body. Especially often, such tablets are used to treat patients in whom arterial hypertension is accompanied by heart failure.

    Also, treatment can be carried out with the help of new generation drugs. Such pills reduce the production of adrenaline, which prevents the development of a crisis. In addition, tablets are used that block the flow of calcium to the vessels. Such treatment helps prevent the development of their spasm. But it is not recommended to take any drugs for arterial hypertension on your own, as this can provoke a significant deterioration in well-being.
