Be alert to four symptoms of hypertension
Hypertension is not only an increase in blood pressure, but also a headache and dizziness. The biggest harm of hypertension is the damage to key organs such as heart, brain and kidney, as well as blood vessels of the whole body. Once the following four kinds of symptoms or signs are found, it may mean that some organs have problems, so you should seek medical attention and make diagnosis and treatment in time.
1. Palpitation, chest pain and edema of lower limbs: If palpitation occurs, you should pay attention to whether tachycardia, atrial fibrillation and premature beats have occurred; Chest pain suggests coronary heart disease, angina pectoris and even aortic dissection; Lower extremity edema should pay attention to whether there is heart failure, and the side effects of some drugs can also be manifested as swelling of the ankle.
2. Dizziness, dizziness, blurred vision, upper and lower limb dyskinesia or numbness: When these symptoms appear, you should be alert to whether cerebrovascular disease or fundus artery disease has occurred, which are common complications of hypertension.
3. Eyelid swelling, nocturia, hematuria or foam urine: It suggests that renal lesions may have occurred. Hypertension that is not well controlled all the year round is easy to damage the kidneys.
4. The blood pressure of the upper arms on both sides is much different or the foot hurts after walking for a long time: the former usually means arterial stenosis of the upper limbs; The foot pain after walking for a long time will be relieved after a short rest, which is probably the result of stenosis of lower extremity arteries. ▲
