pressure.According to her, consuming certain foods, sun exposure, or staying in stuffy or hot environments can lead to high blood pressure. She points out that the first step in managing high blood pressure is to eliminate the triggering factors and create a calm and comfortable environment, ensuring adequate ventilation, as oxygen deprivation can worsen the condition. Therefore, it is important to open windows, loosen tight clothing, and help the patient lie down and relax.
The doctor confirms that the most prominent signs of high blood pressure include headaches (especially at the back of the head or without a specific location), dizziness, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision or seeing "stars" before the eyes, in addition to a general decline in health. She advises avoiding any physical exertion, hot baths, saunas, and fatty or spicy foods in this condition.
It also warns against taking medication indiscriminately without monitoring blood pressure, as a sudden spike or drop in blood pressure can present with similar symptoms. It emphasizes that if blood pressure exceeds 160 mmHg and symptoms such as facial drooping, difficulty speaking, or loss of consciousness appear, emergency services should be contacted immediately.
She adds that headaches are not a simple symptom, but may be a sign of serious illnesses, so they require accurate diagnosis and medical follow-up.
