What is the difference between hypertension and hypotension?

Blood pressure disorder has long been a common one in the category of diseases nowadays. The number of people with hypertension is getting younger and younger, and the total number is slowly increasing. And although hypotension is not as harmful as hypertension, it also creates confusion for some groups. And hypotension often occurs in women who are tender.

Hypertension may be asymptomatic or asymptomatic in its early stages, and may only increase after exertion, nervousness, or mood swings, and return to normal after rest. As the disease lengthens, the blood pressure continues to rise significantly, and various symptoms gradually appear, which is called bradykinetic hypertension.

The common clinical symptoms of bradykinetic hypertension include headache, dizziness, lack of concentration, memory loss, numbness in the limbs, increased nocturia, palpitations, chest tightness, and weakness. Insufficient blood supply to the brain due to prolonged hypertension is also a cause of dizziness.

The main symptoms of hypertension are dizziness, head swelling, headache, head fever, tinnitus, forgetfulness, memory loss, insomnia and dreaminess, neck pain, neck and back stiffness, panic, shortness of breath, chest tightness, chest and abdomen fullness, heavy legs, weakness of lower limbs walking, numbness of hands and feet, weakness of waist and knees, coldness of both feet, heat in the heart of hands and feet, excessive nocturnal urination, pain all over the body, red face and eyes, dryness of both eyes, eye blur, blurred vision, constipation, fatigue, sexual dysfunction, irritability, etc.

There are different types of hypotension, acute and chronic.

Acute hypotension means that the blood pressure suddenly decreases from all normal or high levels, and is more significant, and most of these conditions are due to ischemia of the brain, heart, kidneys and other human organs, appearing dizziness and black eyes, limbs soft and sweaty, palpitations and urine and other conditions, more serious will be shock.

Chronic hypotension means that the blood pressure is significantly lower than the normal category, and is a persistent condition. It is prevalent in women and the elderly, with mild cases of mian without all illnesses, and more severe cases of physical fatigue, dizziness, etc. It is more significant in summer when the average temperature is higher. A part of patients with hypotension patients dizziness when standing up, which is called postural hypotension.

The symptoms of hypotension may include: dizziness, headache, loss of appetite, fatigue, pallor, indigestion, seasickness, etc. Serious symptoms include: upright vertigo, cold extremities, palpitations, dyspnea, ataxia, slurred pronunciation, even fainting, and prolonged bed rest. These symptoms are mainly due to the drop in blood pressure, resulting in slow blood circulation and distal capillary ischemia, which affects the supply of oxygen and nutrients to tissue cells and the excretion of carbon dioxide and metabolic wastes. In particular, the blood supply to the brain and heart is affected.

Such a prolonged period of time makes the body function greatly reduced, and the main hazards include: vision, hearing loss, induced or aggravated senile dementia, dizziness, fainting, falls, and fracture incidence greatly increased. Weakness, mental fatigue, depression and melancholy always occur, which affects the quality of life of patients.
