The British Heart Foundation warns anyone experiencing nasal bleeding not to ignore it, stating it could be a sign of high blood pressure and should be checked as soon as possible.
In a statement, the British Heart Foundation warned that high blood pressure has "no clear symptoms" and that "people do not realize they have high blood pressure"," and for this reason, it is very important to check blood pressure regularly."
Improving blood pressure
According to "Surrey Life", changes in diet and increased levels of physical activity will help improve blood pressure.
But if high blood pressure is left untreated, it can also lead to complications such as:
• Kidney failure.
• Heart failure.
• Vision problems.
• Vascular dementia.
Risk factors
Factors contributing to the potential development of high blood pressure include smoking, alcohol consumption, being overweight, and inactivity.
However, the British Heart Foundation points out that some people have a cause for their high blood pressure, known as "secondary hypertension."
Factors of secondary hypertension include:
• Kidney diseases.
• Diabetes.
• Obstructive sleep apnea, which can lead to sleep disorders.
• Certain medications, such as oral contraceptives.
• Some over-the-counter drugs and herbal medicines.
