Symptoms Of Abnormal Blood Pressure |
|
|
|
When the heart pumps blood through the body,
a force is exerted on the walls of the arteries causing a pressure. This
pressure is known as blood pressure. Blood pressure keeps changing. When
the blood pressure falls abnormally below the normal range, it is called
low blood pressure or hypotension. And when blood pressure becomes
higher than the normal range, it is called high blood pressure or
hypertension.
So, basically, there are two
types of blood pressure- hypertension and hypotension. And the symptoms
for both these types of blood pressure are different.
Symptoms
of Hypertension:
In general, high blood pressure shows no
symptoms. This is one of the reasons for why it is called the 'silent
killer'. One can have it for years without realizing its presence at
all. But when your body exhibits the following symptoms then you should
get yourself checked:
A) Headache
B) Dizziness
C) Blurred vision
D) Low libido or lack of sexual desire
E) Nausea
F) Vomiting
G) Shortness of breath
H) Restlessness
Symptoms of Hypotension:
Usually low blood pressure is caused
by malnutrition or poor diet. Lack of nutrients and a diet deficient in
calories, proteins, vitamin C, or almost any one of the B complex
vitamins gives birth to hypotension.
It is possible that low
blood pressure may or may not exhibit any symptom. But casual symptoms
of low blood pressure are recorded as:
1) Light-headedness
2) Dizziness
3) Palpitations
4) Blurred vision
5) Discomfort in the chest
6) Anxiety
7) Fatigue
8) Headache/migraine
9) Intolerance to heat
10) Feeling cold all over
11) Bloating after meals
12) Cognitive impairment
Though these are the general symptoms of low blood pressure, they may
vary from person to person.
