Hypertension

Hypertension, commonly called high blood pressure, is a disorder characterized by chronic high blood pressure. The term hypertension refers to hypertension arterial.

Hypertension can be classified as essential (primary) or secondary:
Essential: it has no specific medical cause that explains the condition
Secondary: high blood pressure is the result of another disorder.

Leading causes of hypertension:
intake of high amounts of sodium
high levels of renin
insulin resistance and / or hyperinsulinemia
apnea during sleep
inheritance
alucni drugs such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and steroids

Causes of secondary hypertension:
kidney
disorders of the adrenal glands
hypercalcemia
coartazione of aorta
stiffening of blood vessels resulting in aging

It's also recognized that stressful situations can increase blood pressure, but hypertension is not to be confused with stress, anxiety and mental tension.

Typically, the hypertension is discovered by chance by doctors during a routine check up. The only diagnostic test for hypertension is the measurement of blood pressure. Indeed, hypertension alone generally does not produce any symptoms, although some workers claim to suffer from headaches, fatigue, facial flushing or tinnitus.

However, although hypertension alone is not a disease, it certainly requires treatment because of its possible effects on major organs. High blood pressure can increase the risk of:
cerebrovascular accidents such as stroke
myocardial infarction, or heart attack
hypertensive cardiomyopathy, ie stroke caused by chronic high-pressure
hypertensive retinopathy, or damage to the retina
hypertensive nephropathy, ie renal failure due to chronic high pressure.

In addition to specific drugs for hypertension, to reduce blood pressure may be helpful:
Changes in lifestyle: weight loss, exercise regularly, stop smoking
Changes in the diet: to increase the daily intake of calcium and the decrease of sodium, eat fruits, vegetables, nuts, dairy products with little or no fat
Food Supplements: abut, graviola, Chanca piedra, Pica preto, erva Tostao, Brazilian peppertree, embauba, Steve, mulungu, mutamba, fedegosa, guava, carqueja, passionflower, vassourinha, jurubeba, Nettle
