Each of the six complications of high blood pressure is fatal, so let's take precautions.

The occurrence rate of hypertension is particularly high in our country, the terrible thing is that it will cause a variety of complications, so patients with hypertension should actively control their blood pressure. 1. If the blood pressure remains high for a long time, leading to stroke and cerebral hemorrhage, the risk of stroke in patients with hypertension is 7.76 times that of normal people, and the mortality and disability rate of stroke are very high. 2. Coronary heart disease if hypertension has not been effectively controlled, the large and small arteries of the whole body will harden, the probability of coronary heart disease will be increased, and the probability of myocardial infarction will also be increased. Although there is no rupture of blood vessels inside and outside the brain, 4. Heart failure hypertension will also affect heart health and make myocardial compensatory hypertrophy. In the end, heart failure may occur, which can endanger the patient's life and cause the coronary artery to be blocked by thrombus.

The incidence of hypertension is particularly high in our country, and now about 330 million people suffer from hypertension. Hypertension itself is not terrible, the terrible thing is that it will cause a variety of complications, and each complication is particularly dangerous, even crippled to death in serious cases, so patients with hypertension should actively control their blood pressure.

What are the complications of hypertension?

1. Cerebral hemorrhage and stroke

If blood pressure remains high for a long time, it will harden the arteries, making blood vessels more and more fragile, leading to stroke and cerebral hemorrhage. The risk of stroke in patients with hypertension is 7.76 times higher than that in normal people, and the mortality and disability rate of stroke are very high. now there are about 7 million patients disabled by stroke in our country.

2. Coronary heart disease

If hypertension has not been effectively controlled, it will cause hardening of the large and small arteries of the whole body, and even coronary atherosclerosis, and the probability of coronary heart disease will be increased, in the long run, the probability of myocardial infarction will also be increased, seriously threatening people's health and life safety.

3. Cerebral infarction

In fact, cerebral infarction is cerebral thrombosis. although there is no rupture of blood vessels inside and outside the brain, blood vessels are blocked by thrombus, that is, clots of blood, hindering blood circulation. promote brain cells do not get adequate oxygen and nutrients, eventually lead to brain cell necrosis, the most serious is that cerebral infarction is irreversible.

4. Heart failure

Hypertension will also affect heart health, will make the myocardium compensatory hypertrophy, so that the heart in a state of ischemia and hypoxia, over time will form hypertensive heart disease, and eventually heart failure may occur, mild to make patients have shortness of breath, palpitation, fatigue and other symptoms, severe will endanger the lives of patients.

5. Myocardial infarction

Long-term high blood pressure will lead to coronary artery thrombus blockage, so that part of the myocardium can not get adequate blood supply, ischemia and hypoxia and necrosis, promoting the occurrence of myocardial infarction. During a myocardial infarction attack, there will be severe pain in the chest, sometimes accompanied by symptoms such as dyspnea and nausea, and even shock in severe cases, and the fatality rate of myocardial infarction is very high. About 30% of people die at the first attack, and more than half die within an hour after the attack.

6. Renal failure

Hypertension will harden the glomerular arterioles, affect the excretion function of the kidney, promote water and sodium metabolism and acid-base balance problems, and eventually make the kidney function decline, increase the probability of kidney failure, and even cause uremia in severe cases. After the kidney function decreases, the blood pressure will gradually increase because of the imbalance of water and sodium, thus forming a vicious circle.

reminder

Although the complications that may be caused by high blood pressure are particularly dangerous and fatal, they are also preventable. If blood pressure can be kept within a normal range, then the probability of complications is relatively low. Therefore, patients with hypertension should take antihypertensive drugs regularly and quantitatively under the guidance of the doctor, in addition, they should also develop good diet and living habits, try to be light in diet, and the amount of salt intake should not exceed 4 grams a day. Stay up late in daily life, otherwise your blood pressure will rise because of endocrine disorders and fatigue.
