What happens when blood pressure increases?

Health experts say, increasing blood pressure can have many effects on the body, about which everyone needs to be careful. In many cases, people with high blood pressure do not have any symptoms. On the other hand, people who often have this problem may have some problems.

Difficulty in breathing

Experiencing shortness of breath, especially during physical activity is very common. However, if you often have this problem, even while resting, if you keep breathing, then it can be a sign of high blood pressure. During winter days, the airways become narrow due to cold air. Due to this, breathing may be more difficult for people with high blood pressure. If you continue to feel unusually short of breath, then definitely get your blood pressure checked.

Nosebleeding

Injury to the nose or mouth can cause nosebleeding, however, if you are bleeding from the nose without any reason, then it can be a sign of high blood pressure. Especially in winter, due to dry and cold air, there is a risk of the nasal membranes becoming brittle, which can cause bleeding. People who often have high blood pressure problems have also been seen to be at higher risk.

Blurred vision

The World Health Organization has highlighted that people whose blood pressure is 180/120 or more may experience changes in vision such as blurriness. High blood pressure damages the small blood vessels within the eyes. This long-standing problem can cause you to have blurred vision and many other eye-related problems. The American Heart Association reported that some people suffering from high blood pressure may have vision problems.
