Anyone who suffers from low blood pressure is at risk of hypertension

Be sure to get a blood test, one is a warning sign

How low pressure can turn into high voltage and what you should pay attention to.

If you suffer from chronic low blood pressure, even if you drink therapy to keep it within normal limits, you should pay attention to some parameters that indicate another danger – hypertension!

Yes, hypotension (low blood pressure) can imperceptibly turn into hypertension, and by adopting some habits you can detect the risk of this problem in time.

To monitor this process, it is not only necessary to measure the pressure regularly, but also to do certain tests.

A blood test will show the level of cholesterol and the amount of sodium in your blood. Here's what it means:

High cholesterol contributes to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, which "choke" blood vessels, already damaged by excessive pressure, narrowing them even more.

If sodium is higher than normal, then there are kidney problems. Consequently, salts and water are retained in the body, increasing blood volume, which leads to an increase in blood pressure.

With the help of blood tests, you can find out in time the risk of developing hypertension, even if you constantly have low blood pressure.

What causes hypertension?

The cause of hypertension is the irritation of the vasomotor center, which is responsible for narrowing and relaxing the walls of blood vessels. The following factors can affect its development:

? genetics, in most cases this disease is hereditary;
? strong nervous (psychological) strain;
? bad habits;
? arteriosclerosis;
? excessive intake of fatty foods, salt;
? excess weight;
? the presence of diseases that have arterial hypotension as a symptom.
