What is Hypertension and How Do I Know I'm Suffering From It?
Hypertension basically refers to high blood pressure. High blood pressure is when the force of blood pushing against blood vessel walls is heavy and working hard. The heart pumps blood into the blood vessels that carry the blood through the body. Hypertension is very dangerous because it will force the heart to work harder pumping blood to the body. This will lead to hardening of the arteries. Atherosclerosis and the development of heart failure can occur.
What is hypertension? So basically whenever someone refers to hypertension they are generally referring to the condition of having high blood pressure.
The best way to find out if you are suffering from high blood pressure, is to have your blood pressure checked. You can do this on your own or have your doctor do it. It's usually standard procedure for doctors to check blood pressure at each visit.
You will know you are suffering from hypertension by what your numbers read. A high number means that your heart is working too hard to pump blood through your body. This added workload can lead to a much weaker heart. In turn, organ damage can later occur. Your arteries will also be effected negatively when blood pressure is high. Hard, narrow arterial walls will be the result from the extra workload. This can be the pathway for stroke, kidney failure, and cardiovascular disease.
Smoking, being overweight, stress, genetics, too much salt consumption, and lack of exercise are all common contributors to hypertension.
What is hypertension? Something you should definitely get a handle on so as not to suffer serious health ailments down the road, or even sooner.
What is Acute Hypotensive Reaction?
Patients treated with anti-hypertensive drugs have the tendency to develop acute hypotensive reactions which are usually characterized by fainting, weakness, nausea and vomiting. This condition is equally dangerous and needs to handled properly so that the patient does suffer any harm.
The patient should be taught how to prevent acute hypotensive reaction and what to do if they should occur.
i. In case of acute hypotensive reaction, patient should lie down immediately with his feet elevated above the head; flex the thigh and wriggle the toes to increase blood flow to the brain. This would help to increase blood and oxygen supply to brain cells.
ii. Patient should get up slowly from lying position to a sitting position before standing. This is to allow the vascular system adjust to changes in position. Otherwise there could sudden drop in blood pressure which would make the to slump and get injured.
iii. Patient should avoid standing motionless, especially within the first 2 hrs of taking anti-hypertensive drugs. Standing motionless causes drainage of blood from the brain and other organs thereby leading to a fainting attack. It also makes the vessels of the legs to relax causing a pooling of blood in the lower extremities.
iv. Constipation should be avoided because it causes increased or irregular absorption of anti-hypertensive drugs. This can lead to critical hypotensive reactions.
v. Driving within 2 hours of taking anti-hypertensive drugs should be done carefully to avoid accidents.There could be pooling of blood from the brain and this eventually could make the patient experience dizziness or confusion and when this happen an accident may be inevitable. Accident is a major in acute hypotensive reaction.
vi. Avoid hot baths and excessive alcohol which can cause vasodilatation and fainting.A patient who is likely to experience acute hypotensive reaction or a patient who has actually experienced it before must try and avoid alcohol because the alcohol will produce a state of hypotension (lowered blood arterial pressure)and when its effect combines with the effect of the anti-hypertensive drugs acute hypotensive reaction would surely occur.
