The doctor explained how to recognize the symptoms of hypertension in the eyes.
How dangerous is blood pressure?
It’s not for nothing that doctors consider hypertension to be the cause of some of the most serious medical situations, such as heart attacks and strokes. Sometimes hypertension does not make itself felt for a long time, which is why it has earned the reputation of a “silent killer.”
The presence of high blood pressure can be determined, among other things, by the eyes. They are not only a mirror of the soul, but also an indicator of our inner state. Therapist Elena Klimovskaya warned that bloodshot eyes indicate surges in blood pressure.
The doctor warned that at high levels, our heart begins to work harder than usual to pump blood throughout the body. Over time, this leads to damage to blood vessels and vital organs.
Characteristic signs
Many people do not pay attention to the symptoms of visual impairment. However, high blood pressure ultimately contributes to the development of hypertensive retinopathy, which puts a person at risk of damaging blood vessels and then blurring or losing vision.
The doctor also named other signs that are worth paying attention to: with constant high pressure, our retinal blood vessels become a little stiffer and hardened. They begin to press on each other and intersect, like two hoses in a confined space. They may even burst. This provokes a number of vision problems.
Hypertensive retinopathy can make you more vulnerable to the risks associated with high blood pressure.
