In hot weather, hypertensive patients may experience changes that are worth knowing about in order to avoid possible negative consequences on their health. Blood pressure is not as stable as is often thought, but undergoes frequent variations. The clearest example is the fluctuation between day and night: it is normal for it to fall during sleep by a little more than 10% compared to the figures recorded during the hours when we are active. The time of year also has a powerful influence. Due to the vasodilator effect of heat, blood pressure may be lower in the summer months than in the cold months. It is said that during stays at the beach, the altitude at sea level also contributes to lower blood pressure, and another factor that may facilitate the lowering of blood pressure is the reduced stress and relaxation associated with vacation periods.
It is advisable, which individuals who experience a reduction in their blood pressure during the summer as the remaining 60% have a good hydration to be the best ally and drinking water is the best option to achieve it. In addition, changes in summer schedules favor the forgetting of medication doses. Setting alarms on your cell phone helps you to remember to take your medication. Blood pressure is generally higher in the winter and lower in the summer. This is because lower temperatures cause blood vessels to constrict, which increases blood pressure. Remember that most people with high blood pressure have no signs or symptoms, even if blood pressure readings reach dangerously high levels. Some people with high blood pressure may have headache, shortness of breath.
In that sense, hypertension is a major cardiovascular risk factor. The damage to cerebral blood vessels caused by this disorder is also being seen to cause cognitive and behavioral symptoms, such as cognitive impairment, dementia and even depression. At present, the prevalence of arterial hypertension, as well as the diseases associated with it, is increasing. As we have said, it is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. It affects many organs and systems, including the brain: If it causes major damage to its blood vessels, it increases the risk of stroke. On the other hand, microvascular damage involves the appearance of small, silent infarcts.
The truth is that sustained and uncontrolled high blood pressure has serious consequences for the brain. Gradually, functions such as attention span, visual memory and orientation are reduced. Eventually, it becomes difficult to perform everyday tasks. Above all, the importance of prevention and early detection of cognitive impairment must be emphasized. Arterial hypertension is a fundamental point on which we can act to prevent this disorder, as well as in the care of the cognitive abilities of the most at-risk subjects. Low blood pressure usually manifests itself in the form of blurred vision, a feeling of dizziness, sudden sweating, sudden weakness and confusion.
In conclusion, any factor that increases pressure against the walls of the arteries can lead to high blood pressure. Accumulation of fatty deposits in the arteries (atherosclerosis) can trigger high blood pressure. In addition to atherosclerosis, there are other diseases that can cause high blood pressure. Although high blood pressure and high blood pressure are more common in adults, children can also be at risk. In some children, high blood pressure may be due to kidney or heart problems. However, for an increasing number of children, the cause is due to poor lifestyle habits, such as an unhealthy diet, obesity and lack of exercise.
