How Hypertension can Affect your Eyes

How Hypertension can Affect your Eyes | High blood Pressure Awareness Month

5/1/2020

Blood pressure is the force of circulating blood against your vessels. It is measured by two numbers, including the systolic and the diastolic. The systolic or top number is the pressure as the heart beats. The diastolic or bottom number is the force when the heart rests.

According to the American Stroke Association, when the systolic number is 130 or higher and/or the diastolic number is 80 or higher consistently, it is considered high blood pressure or hypertension.

May is High Blood Pressure Awareness Month, and understanding what increases your risk of hypertension helps you protect your health and vision.

Causes

Several things can contribute to the development of high blood pressure. For instance, certain medical conditions increase your risk of developing high blood pressure, such as sleep apnea and kidney disease. Being overweight, smoking, and chronic alcohol abuse can also increase the risk of hypertension.

Some people may also be genetically prone to develop high blood pressure. Inheriting certain genes may increase a person’s risk, especially combined with lifestyle factors, such as smoking.

Symptoms

Most people do not have any symptoms when they first develop high blood pressure. That’s why it is essential to have your blood pressure checked regularly.

When blood pressure becomes very high, over time, it can lead to the following symptoms:

Shortness of breath
Headaches
Dizziness
Chest pain

How hypertension affects vision

High blood pressure can lead to problems with the eyes and vision issues. Your eyes have several small blood vessels. When the vessels are subjected to the effects of high blood pressure, it can lead to damage. Possible adverse effects include:

Eye stroke: Similar to how a stroke can cut off blood flow to the brain, it can also block blood flow to the eye. An eye stroke occurs when blood flow to the retina decreases due to constriction of the vessels or from a clot. There are different types of eye strokes, depending on which vein or artery is affected in the retina.

Symptoms may include

Blurry vision
Sudden vision loss
Floaters

Optic neuropathy: Hypertension can lead to reduced blood flow to the optic nerve, which damages the cells in the eyes. It can lead to permanent vision loss.

Symptoms may include:

Flashes in the eye
Eye pain
Double vision

Choroidopathy: This condition involves fluid buildup under the retina in the eye. It can lead to scarring that interferes with clear vision.

Symptoms may include:

A blind spot in central vision
Objects may appear smaller

Progression of diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and macular degeneration: Various eye diseases can progress faster or become more severe due to high blood pressure. According to research in the Journal of Human Hypertension, high blood pressure is one of the main risk factors for the progression of diabetic retinopathy.

Controlling high blood pressure

The best way to decrease your risk of vision problems due to hypertension is to manage your blood pressure. Fortunately, there are several ways you can lower your blood pressure and reduce eye complications, including:

Lifestyle changes: Lifestyle changes are often the first step in lowering blood pressure. For instance, maintaining a healthy weight can reduce your blood pressure significantly. According to the American Heart Association, even losing five to ten pounds can help lower your pressure. It is also vital to consider additional lifestyle changes, such as:

Quitting smoking
Exercising
Limiting caffeine
Reducing salt
Decreasing stress

Medications: Medications are also available that can lower blood pressure. Different classifications of medications include diuretics, beta-blockers, and ACE inhibitors. The type of medication recommended may depend on how severe your hypertension is and what additional medical problems you may have.

Get regular eye exams: Regular eye exams are important for everyone, but if you have high blood pressure, they are even more essential. Regular exams can help your doctor identify changes to your vision before symptoms become severe.

We are happy to answer any questions, or if you would like to discuss whether an appointment with one of our eye doctors would be appropriate at this time, please call us at 508-746-8600.

How I Got My Husband back... Am so excited to share my testimony of a real spell caster who brought my husband back to me. My husband and I have been married for about 6 years now. We were happily married with two kids, a boy and a girl. 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and a few weeks later I found out that my husband is seeing someone else. He started coming home late from work, he hardly cared about me or the kids anymore, Sometimes he goes out and doesn't even come back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I could to rectify this problem but all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the Internet one day, I came across a website that suggested that Dr. Wale can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and told him my problems and he told me what to do and I did it and he did a spell for me. 48 hours later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promised never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. My family are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr. Wale If you have any problem contact him and I guarantee you that he will help you. He will not disappoint you. you can WhatsApp him +1(978) 406-9575 or Email him at : everlastingspellcast@gmail.com or or view his website for more review https://everlastingspellcaster.website2.me/contact

I felt my life was over and my kids thought they would never see their father again. I tried to be strong just for the kids but I could not control the pains that tormented my heart, my heart was filled with sorrows and pains because I was really in love with my husband. Every day and night I think of him and always wish he would come back to me, I was really upset and I needed help, so I searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Dr. Wale can help get ex back fast. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and I did it then he did a Love spell for me. 24 hours later, my husband really called me and told me that he missed me and the kids so much, So Amazing!! So that was how he came back that same day, with lots of love and joy, and he apologized for his mistake, and for the pain he caused me and the kids. Then from that day, our Marriage was now stronger than how it was before, All thanks to Dr. Wale. he is so powerful and I decided to share my story on the Internet with Dr. Wale real and powerful spell caster who I will always pray to live long to help his children in the time of trouble, if you are here and you need your ex back or your husband moved to another woman, do not cry anymore, contact this powerful spell caster now.

To everyone out there who thinks love spells don't work, I’m here to tell you that Lord Zakuza love spell is the best and most powerful. I am a wealthy man who has lots of assets and possessions but I have difficulty with women. Whenever I try to settle down with any, we end up breaking up and I had no idea of why I was going through such an experience in my relationship. It was so worrying that I couldn’t be myself anymore and I started searching for help everywhere even at my place of work. I was going through my work activities online and I came across a testimony of a lady called ( Febe Anouk ) regarding how Lord Zakuza helped her to restore her relationship with his love spell, I had to give it a try because I needed my Ex lover back that I love so much. I visited Lord Zakuza website online and I told him everything I was going through. Lord Zakuza consoled me and promised to help me out with my situation by preparing a love spell for me. I followed the instructions given by him to me and within 48 hours, my Ex lover came looking for me and pleaded for forgiveness. Since I came in contact with Lord Zakuza, things have changed for good in my life and right now, I am married with two beautiful kids and my home is blessed. All thanks to Lord Zakuza I am forever thankful to you. Visit his website for any help via lordzakuzaspells.com or WhatsApp him on +1 740-573-9483. Try him and your life will be blessed.
