The dangers of resistant hypertension are closely related to our health. When we don't pay attention to it and deal with it aggressively, this solid health problem can have serious consequences. So, what are the dangers of resistant hypertension?
First of all, long-term suffering from resistant hypertension can lead to the development of cardiovascular disease. High blood pressure increases the heart's workload, making it work harder to pump blood to all parts of the body. Over time, such an excessive burden can impair the heart's function, making it progressively more vulnerable. The risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart disease, coronary heart disease and stroke is also significantly increased. These diseases can cause irreversible damage to our bodies and affect the quality of our daily lives.
Second, resistant hypertension can also cause kidney disease. High blood pressure can cause damage to the kidneys, hindering their normal excretory function. People with long-term high blood pressure may be at risk of reduced kidney function and even further development of chronic kidney disease or kidney failure. These diseases affect the excretion of waste products from the body and the balance of water and salt in the body, seriously affecting the normal metabolism and health of the body.
In addition, resistant hypertension can also lead to eye problems. High blood pressure ruptures or bleeds blood vessels in the eye, which can lead to serious eye diseases such as fundus hemorrhage and retinal damage. These diseases can have a serious impact on our vision and may even lead to blindness. In addition, high blood pressure can also lead to the occurrence of eye diseases such as glaucoma, which brings great trouble to our life and work.
In addition to the above-mentioned diseases, resistant hypertension is also closely related to many other health problems. For example, people with high blood pressure are more likely to have problems with cognitive decline, memory loss, and mental retardation. In addition, high blood pressure can put tremendous pressure on our blood vessels, leading to an increased risk of arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.
To prevent and control the harm caused by resistant hypertension, we should take proactive measures to lower blood pressure. Eating a sensible diet, exercising moderately, and making positive lifestyle changes are all important ways to control high blood pressure. Also, monitor your blood pressure regularly and take your medications as recommended by your doctor**. Seeking timely medical attention and being proactive** are key to protecting yourself from the dangers of resistant hypertension.
As the saying goes, "the stubborn will change sooner or later", if not paid attention to and dealt with in time, the harm caused by resistant hypertension will be unavoidable. Let's take an active look at our blood pressure and take steps to keep it within the normal range to protect our health and well-being.
