News Topical, Digital Desk : In today's busy life, people are not able to take proper care of their health. Due to this, the risk of many types of diseases is increasing. High Blood Pressure has also become one of those common problems. Earlier, it was heard only in the elderly, but now it is affecting even the young people. Your bad eating habits and unhealthy lifestyle are responsible for this.
Let us tell you that high blood pressure is also called a silent killer. Because it slowly damages the body without any specific symptoms. Many people remain its victims for a long time, but they do not even know. Gradually this problem can cause serious diseases and affect organs like heart, brain, eyes and kidneys. This is the reason why doctors always recommend getting regular checkups and paying attention to blood pressure. Today in this article we will tell you which diseases are at increased risk due to high blood pressure. Let's know -
Risk of heart attack and stroke
High blood pressure damages the arteries. Fat accumulates in the blood vessels to form plaque, which hardens and thickens the arteries and increases the risk of heart attack or stroke.
Aneurysm
Increased blood pressure weakens the blood vessels. Due to this they swell. This is called an aneurysm. If this aneurysm bursts, it can be fatal.
heart failure
When we have high blood pressure, our heart has to work harder to pump blood. This causes the walls of the heart's pumping chamber to thicken. This is called left ventricular hypertrophy. In such a situation, when the heart is unable to pump the right amount of blood to meet the body's needs, heart failure occurs.
Kidney problems
High blood pressure can weaken the blood vessels of the kidney, which can damage the kidney. High blood pressure affects the filtering function of the kidney. If this condition persists for a long time, it can also lead to kidney failure.
Bad effect on eyes
Increasing blood pressure also has a bad effect on our eyes. Due to this, the blood vessels of the eyes can thicken and burst, which can also cause loss of vision.
Dementia
Due to thickening of arteries, blood circulation in our brain is not proper. This can cause a disease called vascular dementia. Which is a type of dementia. Stroke, which stops blood circulation in the brain, can also cause vascular dementia. Apart from this, high blood pressure also affects our memory power.
