Hypertension is one of the ailments that have more to do with the mental state and mood of a patient, that is why, in more than one occasion, this box has a psychosomatic origin.

When blood pressure is consistently high, we can say that a picture is suffering from hypertension. Systolic blood pressure rises due to various reasons such as physical exercises, and the hard work, but also by strong emotions such as anger, fear, and anxiety. Diastolic blood pressure is very significant in relation to the state of the heart, and reflects the level of basal pressure in the arterial network.
In this sense, the emotional roller coaster, and physical and mental activity can alter levels of PS. It happens that as you change the physical and mental activity, also modified the requirements of blood from different parts of the body. To meet these needs extras, the heart has to pump blood with greater pressure.
Thus she can say that blood pressure depends on the activity of each person, which may also vary in the same person during different parts of the day. So much so that the PS changes not only when a person walks or runs, but when you sit, or stand.
But as noted, hypertension also depends on the mental constitution of a particular person, so that two different people might respond differently to similar situations.
There are two types of hypertension. The first is called primary or essential, while the second, secondary.
Primary Hypertension
In this case, patients do not experience any specific symptoms, even if they have high blood pressure. The causes of this specific type of hypertension are still unknown day for medical science. But we do know, however, is that if it is not detected and controlled at an early stage, can cause heart attacks and kidney damage, thereby reducing life expectancy by years and even decades. Usually, the causes that are attributed to primary hypertension, has to do with:
a. The stress and effort
b. Emotional problems
c. Genetic factors
d. The world of work
e. Obesity
f. The geographic location and climatic condition of the place where one stays
g. The type of personality, especially the ambitious, overworked, anxious and hyperactive
h. Bad lifestyles, such as lack of exercise, use or abuse of stimulants, or an inappropriate diet.
Secondary Hypertension
This is a type of hypertension that occurs as a collateral consequence of some physical cause, such as:
a. Infections or kidney damage
b. Malfunction of the endocrine glands
c. Aortas arteries narrow or very broad
d. Hardening of the arteries, or thick compound formation in the inner walls of the same, condition called atherosclerosis.
e. Loss of elasticity in arteries or veins, blood clots, or fat accumulation, which results in the closure of many arteries, causing damage to the organs to which these arteries supply blood.
f. Pregnancy
g. Blockages in blood vessels formed at birth. To get through these vessels, the pressure must increase. These blockages of the vessels can also develop later in life mainly because of the same PS.
h. Malfunction of the pituitary gland
i. Excess or lack of work of the thyroid gland
j. Blockages in the vessels of the kidney
k. Excessive secretion of adrenal hormones
Hypertension is usually asymptomatic, in other words means it is a disease that has no easy to notice symptoms. Indeed, hypertension often goes generally unnoticed, so more than once can only be detected when it is too late, and the same and becomes chronic. For that reason, hypertension is also called the “silent murderer” or “disease in disguise.”
Once the chronic hypertension has been made, most likely emerge stronger symptoms such as headaches, presence of strange sounds in the ears, constant feeling of fatigue, cloudy vision, or failure in kidney function.
