Patient's question:
Recently, for some reason, I've been feeling discomfort in my heart. Although I take medication regularly to control it, the effect isn't very noticeable. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Could you please tell me what the symptoms of high blood pressure are?Doctor's answer:
Most high blood pressure does not show obvious early symptoms or may be asymptomatic. Therefore, it is also called the "silent assassin." Many patients may experience symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, fatigue, and heart palpitations after excessive physical fatigue, but these symptoms will stabilize significantly after rest. As the symptoms of high blood pressure progress further, patients will continue to experience the above symptoms persistently, and may also have symptoms such as increased nighttime urination and chest tightness and weakness. If patients experience the above symptoms again, they should go to the cardiology department of the hospital for early examination and treatment, and must take antihypertensive medication on time. Regarding the causes of high blood pressure, medicine mainly believes it is derived from intergenerational genetic factors, while also being related to the patient's postnatal diet and environmental factors.
