High Blood Pressure; A Silent Disease That Can Damage the Heart, Brain, and Kidneys Can someone have high blood pressure for years without experiencing any symptoms? What number is considered high blood pressure and when does high blood pressure become an emergency? In this scientific and practical conversation with Dr. Fatemeh Bayat, a cardiologist, we discuss high blood pressure, its risk factors, the correct measurement method, possible complications, and ways to control and treat it. High blood pressure is one of the most common chronic diseases. This disease remains asymptomatic in many people for a long time; for this reason, the person may not be aware of their condition and the disease gradually damages the heart, brain, kidneys, eyes, and blood vessels. Uncontrolled blood pressure can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, heart failure, kidney damage, vision impairment, and vascular diseases. Regular blood pressure measurement, early detection, and proper treatment can reduce the risk of many of these complications. The first number on the blood pressure monitor is the systolic pressure, and the second number is the diastolic pressure. The diagnosis of high blood pressure should not usually be based on a single measurement and may require repeated measurements in the office, home blood pressure recording, or 24-hour monitoring. This program answers important questions: What number is considered high blood pressure? Why is high blood pressure known as the silent disease? Are headaches, dizziness, and palpitations always signs of high blood pressure? Who is most at risk for high blood pressure? What role do heredity, aging, excess weight, salt intake, inactivity, stress, and smoking play? Can young, seemingly healthy people also have high blood pressure? What is the difference between primary and secondary hypertension? What is white coat blood pressure and occult blood pressure? What is the correct way to measure blood pressure at home? How does high blood pressure damage the heart, brain, and kidneys? Can reducing salt intake, losing weight, and exercising control blood pressure? When is medication necessary? Do blood pressure medications have to be taken for the rest of your life? Why is it dangerous to stop taking medication on your own? The goal of treating blood pressure is not the same for everyone. Your doctor will choose the right treatment plan based on your age, general condition, heart and kidney disease, diabetes, medications you are taking, and the likelihood of side effects. Normalizing your blood pressure while taking medication does not usually mean that you can stop taking the medication; it can indicate that the treatment has been effective. Stopping the medication abruptly or irregularly may cause your blood pressure to rise again. Starting, changing the dose, or stopping the medication should only be done with your doctor's advice. Reducing salt and processed foods, achieving a healthy weight, getting regular exercise, quitting smoking, getting enough sleep, controlling diabetes and blood lipids, and taking medications regularly can help control blood pressure. If your blood pressure is higher than 180/120, recheck it after one minute. If your blood pressure is still very high and you have symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, sudden weakness or numbness, slurred speech, vision changes, confusion, or severe headache, you should seek emergency medical attention immediately. If you don't have these symptoms, you should also call your doctor as soon as possible.
