The more blood your heart pumps and the narrower your arteries, the\r\nhigher your blood pressure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hypertension can be asymptomatic. Even without symptoms, damage to blood vessels and heart continues and can be detected. \u00a0The risk of hypertension in diabetes is the most common co-morbid condition present. It is a major risk factor for both the microvascular as well as macrovascular complications of diabetes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Relationship between Hypertension and Diabetes<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hypertension is an important correlate of metabolic syndrome. Hypertension in diabetes increases the risk of developing high blood pressure and other cardiovascular problems, because diabetes adversely affects the arteries, predisposing them to atherosclerosis (narrowing of the arteries). Concomitant hypertension increases the risk of left ventricular hypertrophy, cardiac failure, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, renal dysfunction and retinopathy. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Types of\r\nHypertension<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Essential hypertension.<\/strong> This is a most common type of hypertension with no symptoms, some experience of frequent headaches, tiredness, dizziness, or nose bleeds. Although the cause is unknown, the research has shown that obesity, smoking, alcohol, high-calorie diet, and heredity plays an important role in essential hypertension.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Secondary hypertension.<\/strong> This type of high blood pressure, called secondary hypertension, tends to appear suddenly and cause higher blood pressure than does primary hypertension. Various conditions and medications can lead to secondary hypertension, the risks of hypertension include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Obstructive sleep apnea<\/li><li>Kidney problems<\/li><li>Adrenal gland tumors<\/li><li>Thyroid problems<\/li><li>Certain defects in blood vessels you&#8217;re born with\r\n(congenital)<\/li><li>Certain medications, such as birth control pills,\r\ncold remedies, decongestants, over-the-counter pain relievers and some\r\nprescription drugs<\/li><li>Illegal drugs, such as cocaine and amphetamines<\/li><li>Alcohol abuse or chronic alcohol use<\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<strong>Staging\r\nof hypertension <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<table class=\"wp-block-table\"><tbody><tr><td>\r\n  &nbsp;\r\n  <\/td><td>\r\n  <strong>SYSTOLIC\r\n  BP(mmHg)<\/strong>\r\n  <\/td><td>\r\n  <strong>DIASTOLIC\r\n  BP(mmHg)<\/strong>\r\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\r\n  Normal\r\n  <\/td><td>\r\n  &lt;120\r\n  <\/td><td>\r\n  &lt;80\r\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\r\n  Prehypertension\r\n  <\/td><td>\r\n  120-139\r\n  <\/td><td>\r\n  80-89\r\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\r\n  Stage 1 hypertension\r\n  <\/td><td>\r\n  140-159\r\n  <\/td><td>\r\n  90-99\r\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\r\n  Stage 2 hypertension\r\n  <\/td><td>\r\n  &gt;160\r\n  <\/td><td>\r\n  &gt;100\r\n  <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Systolic BP &gt;140 mmHg is a\r\nmore important risk factor for cardio vascular disease (CVD) than diastolic BP.\r\nThe risk of CVD doubles with increment of 20\/10 mmHg beginning at 115\/75mmHg. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Risk factors for hypertension <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Age<\/li><li>Race<\/li><li>Family history<\/li><li>Being overweight or obese<\/li><li>Not being physically\r\nactive<\/li><li>Using of tobacco<\/li><li>Too much salt (sodium) in\r\nthe diet<\/li><li>Stress<\/li><li>Drinking too much alcohol<\/li><li>Certain chronic\r\nconditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, sleep apnea<\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Prevention <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lifestyle changes can help you control and prevent high blood pressure,\r\neven if you&#8217;re taking blood pressure medication.
