Stress and poverty contributes to hypertension. So says the therapist Irina Andreeva, according to MedikForum.
“The most common way patients find out they have high blood pressure is by coincidence during a general health checkup,” Andreeva said.
She listed a number of symptoms that patients with high blood pressure may experience: blurred vision, chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, headaches and nosebleeds.
“It is important to keep in mind that the symptoms of blood pressure are very extensive. And it is often difficult to determine what comes first – blood pressure or stress symptoms before or after hypertension, ”the doctor explained.
Increased levels of stress, which can contribute to high blood pressure, can be triggered by a crisis in the cost of living and poverty.
In general, a person’s lifestyle has a huge impact on blood pressure indicators. There are extensive studies that show that overweight, stress, a sedentary lifestyle, or a high intake of salt or fat increase the risk of high blood pressure. The good news is that for these causes, the risk can be significantly reduced simply by following a healthy and active lifestyle. Leading a healthy lifestyle includes: reducing salt intake, losing weight, exercising more often, not smoking, and reducing alcohol consumption.
