Hypertension is a chronic increase in blood pressure. This disease used to be associated with age, but today doctors are increasingly diagnosing it in young people. The head of the therapeutic department of City Hospital No. 38 named after NA Semashko, a cardiologist of the highest category Svetlana Guido, spoke about this.
The main reason is lifestyle: chronic lack of sleep, cigarette smoking and fumes, physical inactivity (people sit for hours in front of computers and phones), and constant stress. In addition to refined foods and, as a result, excess weight. The specialist noted that with genetic predisposition, all this leads to premature vascular atherosclerosis.
Guido stressed that the disease may not manifest itself for a long time. A person may experience general symptoms: headache, drowsiness, and fatigue, which are often confused with fatigue.
According to the cardiologist, genetics plays a major role in the development of the disease. If a family member has had heart attacks, diabetes, or premature death due to cardiovascular disease, this should be taken into account when prescribing treatment.Petersburg memoirsยป.
