When was the last time you measured your blood pressure? If you did it a long while ago, we sincerely recommend doing it today. According to statistics (which, as you know, is a stubborn thing), 45% of patients don’t know that they have high blood pressure, which is constant or intermittent.
Even if you have high blood pressure without any symptoms, you should be aware of the consequences of hypertension for the human body.
First and foremost, high blood pressure affects the heart and blood vessels. This might lead to a stroke, ischemic heart disease, kidney failure or rapid irreversible vision loss due to damage to the vessels of the eyes.
It would seem that such an insignificant and common phenomenon as high blood pressure for many becomes the reason for the deterioration of the quality of life, many diseases, disability and premature death.
Who should pay special attention to tonometer readings?
- People who have a genetic predisposition to hypertension.
- People with bad habits – cigarette smokers and alcohol drinkers, as well as those who excessively consume salt and sugar.
- People with excess body weight, which is also one of the factors of the onset of hypertension. You can calculate your body mass index using the formula: BMI = body weight (kg) / height squared (m).
- People who lead a sedentary lifestyle.
- People with chronic diseases.
- People who had brain injuries.
- Workaholics who can’t find much time to rest.
- People who often get into stressful situations.
Control over one’s blood pressure can save a life by helping prevent diseases that occur due to increased pressure. Additionally, it also saves time, nerves and money.
If you are one of those people who should pay special attention to tonometer readings, or your blood pressure readings are higher than normal, we invite you to have a consultation at Kalyna.
