The Wellness of YOU! - # 155 - Blood Pressure - Dangers
posted in Nutrition and Weight Loss |
Today’s article will focus on some of the dangers of high blood pressure — and there are many.
If you, or anyone among your family members or friends has high blood pressure, it’s vitally important that you, and they, understand what these dangers are.
One of the things we need to look at are what other diseases are present along with the hypertension. What other ailments are presenting themselves because of the high blood pressure?
The blood vessels are an important place to look. For example, the blood vessels that supply the eyes can be affected by hypertension and can have profound consequences on someone’s eyesight.
Obviously, cardiac problems may also be associated with high blood pressure. High blood pressure may cause disruptions in the cardiac blood flow to the arteries. The measurement of blood pressure can show a clear indication that the heart has to work much harder to pump blood through the arteries when one has hypertension. That fact can lead to many other difficulties relating to the cardiac area, such as heart attack, stroke and blood clots.
There can also be difficulties in the nervous system such as convulsions, impaired coherence and other symptoms that are often associated with old age.
When the flow of blood in our bodies is disturbed it can affect many of our organs. There are numerous instances reported of ulcers, and other gastro-intestinal problems being prevalent in people with high blood pressure.
The point today, as in the previous articles, is to be sure to regularly measure your blood pressure. This is one of those instances where not knowing can hurt you.
