They were probably wondering why the blood pressure was not diagnosed until they have had a medical examination for insurance again. This is probably because you have not had blood pressure measured in recent years. Like her, many people with high blood pressure have no symptoms. The only way to find out if you suffer from high blood pressure, measured at regular intervals. If the control only doctor that you are for insurance, perhaps firstJobs, these are the only time that anyone has the ability to measure blood pressure and find out which is high.
Your doctor may suggest you take some tests. This is particularly important for two main reasons. The first is to assess how much organ damage has already been done and the baseline values so determined that any damage can be assessed in the future, too. If your normal pattern is recorded from the beginning, the changes may have an impact onmisunderstood. The main target organs of hypertension are the large and small arteries throughout the body, but especially in the brain, eyes, heart and kidneys. Measurable damage of this type is rare under 40 years, except those with a diastolic pressure greater than 120 mmHg, maintained for many years. The other reason is to find out if your blood pressure is the most common type secondary. "Classic" causes of secondary hypertensionThe pressure is rare and represents less than 1% of all cases of hypertension. In practice, they are usually searched in two phases: before starting treatment and then later, when treatment is not inexplicable. For example, when it was, after several months of treatment, blood pressure is under control, or if after many years of good control, blood pressure was uncontrollable, despite continued treatment, there may be a secondary causegoal is to begin to see if one of your kidneys, was seen by a clot blocks the arteries. Some very rare cases, such as, for example, tumors of the adrenal pheochromocytoma, very difficult to find and requires a lot of perseverance.
Before fixing the treatment, you should examine the kidneys, which includes measured with a simple urine test for protein, bacteria, and the level of blood glucose and urea and creatinine values. All these tests require regardingconcern is to provide a urine sample with a small amount of blood taken from the arm. The results of these tests need a baseline measurement for the evaluation of organ damage and future as a test to give possible causes. You can specify a reason in the kidneys, which for more than half of all cases of secondary hypertension account.
Pulse used in research, in this case the groin and feet and ankles, instead of the wristWrist. A quick check on the pulse bar sufficient to exclude a very rare condition called coarctation of the aorta. The pulses in the feet and ankles to provide information on the condition of the legs and coronary arteries (the arteries that supply blood to the heart). If you are over 40 years, and the health of your LES and the coronary arteries should first be assessed against these impulses and regularly ask if the cramps in the legs or in front of the chest after exercisesuch as prolonged walking or climbing stairs and theses pain worse when cold. If you answer "yes" to question the doctor, who could be a sign that arteries may have some problems.
Eye damage usually occurs only in people with very high pressure, and therefore most people do not have their eyes examined. However, people with very high pressures require careful examination of the retina (the black part of the eye). The purpose of this investigation is, until my eyes bleedand obvious swelling of the retina, the small arteries, high imminent risk of serious damage to eyes, brain and kidneys. If found, this is a medical emergency, urgent hospitalization in hospital.
