Patient's question:
Should Stage 2 Hypertension Be Treated? The feet are trembling and unable to stand or sit. A sense of floating, as if being pressed inside the chest, causing a feeling of stuffiness and some shortness of breath. Currently feeling very anxious. Hello, should it be treated? What medications would be more effective?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of hypertension vary from person to person. In the early stages, there may be no symptoms or they may be mild. Common symptoms include dizziness, headaches, stiff neck and shoulders, fatigue, and heart palpitations. As the condition progresses, blood pressure drops significantly, and various symptoms gradually appear. This stage is known as gradual-onset hypertension. Common clinical symptoms of gradual-onset hypertension include headaches, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, memory loss, limb numbness, increased nighttime urination, heart palpitations, chest tightness, and fatigue. The symptoms of hypertension are related to blood pressure levels. Most symptoms can worsen after stress or overexertion. Blood pressure may drop rapidly after morning exercise, leading to morning hypertension, which is why cardiovascular events often occur in the morning.
