Learn About Hypertension & Diabetes

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

High Blood pressures is also known as hypertension. It is diagnosed when 3 blood pressure readings, taken at separate times, are averaged out and the number is >/= 140/90. Sometimes it is caused by a family history. It can also be caused by lifestyle choices such as diet, alcohol consumption, smoking and a sedentary lifestyle.

Some people with high blood pressure may not have any symptoms, even when their blood pressure is dangerously high. This is why high blood pressure is often called the “silent killer”. Symptoms usually do not occur until high blood pressure has reached a severe or life-threatening stage. Symptoms can include severe headaches, chest pain, dizziness, difficulty breathing, nausea, blurred vision, and anxiety.

Diabetes (Diabetes Mellitus)

Diabetes is a chronic condition that manifests when the body is unable to properly regulate blood sugar levels. Glucose in blood is regulated by a special hormone called insulin. Diabetes occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin, or if it does not use insulin properly. This leads to high glucose levels in the blood.

Symptoms can include increased thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision, unexpected or unexplained weight loss, fatigue, numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, slow healing wounds, and skin or vaginal yeast infections.

Diagnosis is either by higher glucose levels or an A1C level; a fasting glucose of 126 and above is indicative of diabetes and an A1C of 6.5 and above, is diagnosis of diabetes.

Preventative Screenings & Healthy Lifestyle

It is important to work to control high blood pressure and diabetes because both can be silent killers. Damage happens slowly. By the time symptoms show, some of the damage is already done and can be irreversible. They are the main contributors of stroke, heart attack, and kidney failure.

For both, it is important to know your numbers. Preventative screenings help with that. Both can be controlled. Knowing is important. Plus, diet and lifestyle also play a large role. A healthy lifestyle includes a balanced diet, exercise, stress management, not smoking and limiting alcohol consumption.
