Patient's question:
Lately, I don't know why I can't sleep, which is greatly affecting my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with a neurology department. Is high blood pressure and a feeling of a stuffy head a sign of cardiovascular disease?Doctor's answer:
Long-term high blood pressure can lead to cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, insufficient blood supply to the brain, or cerebral hemorrhage. It is recommended to actively seek treatment, visit the cardiology department of a hospital, and use antihypertensive drugs under the guidance of a physician to control blood pressure within the normal range. Pay attention to a light diet, avoid excessive salt intake, and engage in moderate exercise. It is also a major trigger for coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction. Long-term high blood pressure can also cause renal artery, leading to kidney dysfunction and uremia, among other complications.
