Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a common lifestyle disorder that often shows no symptoms, but can cause serious issues such as a heart attack or stroke. Managing it is important for long-term health. Many now prefer homeopathic medicine for High Blood Pressure due to a safe, natural, and holistic approach to treatment. This blog covers its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, homeopathic care, and prevention tips.
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, occurs when the force of blood against the artery walls stays consistently high. A normal reading is around 120/80 mmHg, while 140/90 mmHg or above is considered high and may require medical attention. This condition poses additional stress on the heart and blood vessels, which increases the risk of serious health problems such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage. Since hypertension often develops gradually and cannot show obvious symptoms, regular health check-up is important for regular health check-up and effective management.
Hypertension is often called a “silent killer” because it may not cause noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Many individuals may have high blood pressure for years without realizing it, as it often develops slowly and shows no noticeable symptoms in the beginning. However, when the situation becomes severe or reaches dangerous levels, some signs and symptoms may appear. These symptoms vary from person to another and may be wrong for other health issues. This is why regular monitoring is necessary, especially for those who have obesity, stress or high blood pressure as risk factors.
Common symptoms of high blood pressure may include:
Frequent headache – usually dull or throbbing in nature.
Feeling dizzy or light-headed, beaded or unstable.
Blurred or double vision – due to an increase in pressure affecting the eyes.
Chest pain or tightness, especially during hard work.
Shortness of breath, especially after physical activity.
Fatigue or fatigue – a constant feeling of low energy.
Nosebleeds – May occur in cases of excessively high blood pressure, especially when BP suddenly spikes.
Irregular heartbeat – a feeling of an abnormal or intensifying heartbeat.
Hypertension can develop due to a combination of lifestyle factors, medical conditions, or genetic causes. It is usually classified into two types: Primary (essential) hypertension, which develops gradually with age and has no specific cause, and Secondary hypertension, which results from an underlying health condition such as kidney disease or hormonal disorders.
Common causes of high blood pressure include:
Unhealthy diet – excess salt, processed food, and low intake of fruits and vegetables can increase blood pressure.
Obesity – Extra body weight puts added strain on the heart and blood vessels, raising blood pressure levels.
Lack of physical activity – An inactive lifestyle lowers heart strength and often leads to weight gain, both of which increase the risk of hypertension.
Smoking and alcohol – These damage blood vessels and increase blood pressure levels.
Stress – Continuous mental stress triggers hormone release that tightens blood vessels.
Genetic factors – The risk of high blood pressure is increased by a family history.
Chronic conditions – kidney disease, thyroid disorder, and diabetes can lead to high blood pressure.
Aging – Blood vessels naturally become rigid with age, which increases the pressure.
Some medicines – Birth control pills, pain relievers, or decongestants may increase blood pressure.
Hypertension is usually diagnosed using a sphygmomanometer, a device that measures blood pressure in millimeters of mercury (MMHG). The readings include two values – systolic (upper value) and diastolic (lower value).
Urine testing – to detect kidney problems or proteins in urine
Blood test – to check cholesterol levels, blood sugar, or kidney function
ECG (Electrocardiogram) – To detect any irregular heart rhythm or stress on the heart
Echocardiogram – A detailed ultrasound test used to examine the structure of the heart and evaluate how well it is functioning.
Homeopathy works on the principle of treating the basic cause, not only symptoms. It provides natural remedies that help to balance the body’s systems gently, without side effects.
