Young people alert to asymptomatic hypertension

 The diagnostic criteria for hypertension in adults are the same. The normal blood pressure category is that systolic blood pressure (upper pressure) is less than 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure (lower pressure) is less than 90 mmHg. If the upper pressure is higher than 140 mmHg and the lower pressure is higher than 90 mmHg, it is called hypertension. Generally speaking, the older people, the higher the risk of hypertension.

To investigate the causes of hypertension in young adults, we can roughly list the following incentives: excessive nutrition, too little activity, too much mental pressure in daily work and life, overweight, and so on. Most people know that hypertension, diabetes and other life-long diseases, once the disease is difficult to "take off the hat.". However, hypertension in young adults is different: they are not as persistent as the elderly, but their blood pressure is unstable and sometimes increases. Such intermittent hypertension, in fact, can be completely cured through intervention.

As we all know, the formation of hypertension needs a gradual process, sometimes the human body continues to tension, blood vessels contraction, will produce intermittent hypertension; after this stage, the mood gradually relaxed, blood pressure will return to normal. Some young people are diagnosed with high blood pressure as soon as they find high blood pressure, and then take medicine for treatment. This practice is not scientific. Because intermittent hypertension is not equal to lifelong hypertension, patients do not have to take medicine for life.

Generally speaking, patients with hypertension will appear dizziness, irritability, tinnitus, fatigue, insomnia and other symptoms. However, some patients with high blood pressure do not have the symptoms mentioned above. In young people, the potential risk of asymptomatic hypertension is greater, especially need to be vigilant.

Clinically, we often find that some young people don't feel much, diastolic blood pressure (lower pressure) is too high. This is probably secondary hypertension. The so-called secondary hypertension, is in some diseases in the process of secondary blood pressure rise, hypertension is only one of the clinical manifestations of this disease. To deal with secondary hypertension, the most important thing is to find the root and have a definite aim. For example, due to endocrine system diseases secondary to hypertension, it is certainly useless to take antihypertensive drugs alone. Only after starting to treat endocrine system diseases can hypertension be alleviated.
