Hello, friends who care about their health! ๐ Today, let's talk about a scary disease called 'silent killer', 'high blood pressure'! ๐ฑ
Do you often experience stiffness and dizziness in the back of your neck? ๐ค Could this be the early symptoms of high blood pressure? Are you worried? ๐ญ Until recently, I didn't really think much about blood pressure, but I got really scared when I found out that someone in my family was suffering from high blood pressure.
So! Today, we have prepared a complete guide to conquering high blood pressure, from the early symptoms of high blood pressure to complications and management tips! ๐ช Let's move forward toward a healthy life together? ๐
๐ฉธ Hypertension, what is your identity? ๐ค
High blood pressure is a condition in which the pressure of blood flowing through the blood vessels, or blood pressure, is higher than the normal range. ๐ When blood pressure is high, the pressure on the blood vessel walls increases, which can damage the blood vessels and put important organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys at risk.
Hypertension is called a 'silent killer' because it has no specific symptoms in the early stages. ๐คซ However, if left untreated, it can cause serious complications, so regular blood pressure measurement and management are essential! ๐ฉบ
๐จ Early symptoms of high blood pressure, you should never miss them! ๐จ
Hypertension may not have any symptoms in the early stages, but symptoms may include:
- Headache: You may frequently experience a stiff neck and a headache that feels like the back of your neck is being pulled. ๐ค I used to suffer from frequent headaches, but it turned out that they were early symptoms of high blood pressure. ๐ฅ
- Dizziness: You may suddenly feel dizzy or lightheaded. ๐ซ If you feel dizzy, especially when you wake up in the morning, you should suspect high blood pressure.
- Fatigue: You may easily become tired and lethargic. ๐ด Chronic fatigue is one of the representative symptoms of high blood pressure, so you should take care to manage your blood pressure along with getting enough rest.
- Nosebleeds: Frequent or persistent nosebleeds can be a sign of high blood pressure. ๐ฉธ If you have frequent nosebleeds, be sure to check your blood pressure!
- Blurred vision: Your eyes may become cloudy and your vision may become blurry. ๐ High blood pressure can also affect the blood vessels in your retina, so if you notice any loss of vision, it is also a good idea to get an eye exam.
๐ฑ Hypertension, why is it such a scary disease? The fear of complications! ๐ฑ
Hypertension is a disease with truly frightening complications.
- Heart disease: High blood pressure puts a lot of stress on the heart, which can lead to serious heart diseases such as heart failure, angina, and myocardial infarction. โค๏ธ๐
- Stroke: A stroke can occur when a blood vessel in the brain bursts or becomes blocked. Stroke is a scary disease that can leave serious aftereffects or even lead to death. ๐ง
- Kidney disease: High blood pressure can reduce kidney function and lead to chronic kidney failure. Because kidneys are difficult to recover once damaged, early detection and management are important.
- Eye disease: High blood pressure can damage the blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision loss and, in severe cases, blindness. ๐
Therefore, it is very important to detect high blood pressure early and manage it consistently.
๐ High blood pressure, great tips for prevention and management! ๐ช
- Low-salt diet: Reducing salt intake helps lower blood pressure. Try to eat less salty foods and reduce your intake of processed or instant foods. ๐ง๐

- Regular exercise: Aerobic exercise is effective in lowering blood pressure and strengthening cardiopulmonary function. Find an exercise that suits you, such as walking, jogging, swimming, or cycling, and do it regularly. ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐ดโโ๏ธ
- Stress Management: Stress is one of the main causes of high blood pressure. It is important to manage stress through meditation, yoga, hobbies, etc., and get enough rest. ๐งโโ๏ธ๐
- Smoking & Drinking Moderation: Smoking and excessive drinking should be avoided as they increase blood pressure and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. ๐ญ๐ฅ
- Measure your blood pressure regularly: Purchase a home blood pressure monitor to measure your blood pressure regularly, and if you notice any abnormalities, visit a hospital for treatment. ๐ฉบ
- Medication: It is also important to take blood pressure medication consistently as prescribed by your doctor. ๐
