Often the current pace of life leads to the development of diseases that occur against the background of overstrain and fatigue.

Silent Assassin
This is the mysterious name of hypertension in the common people. The name "silent killer" fully corresponds to it. The disease develops imperceptibly, the symptoms are similar to ordinary fatigue. Often, the patient learns about the diagnosis of "hypertension" from the doctor who arrived at the call of the "ambulance". And then a reasonable question arises: if the pressure is increased, what should be done to prevent sad consequences?
Howto identify signs of an attack of hypertension? First, you need to measure your blood pressure regularly. It is also important to pay special attention to pain in the heart and head, dizziness, tachycardia. Sometimes the first sign of hypertension is an instant deterioration in vision. Also, the disease can signal a breakdown in the morning and excessive fatigue in the evening.
Hypertensive crisis
The most severe manifestation of arterial hypertension is a situation when the pressure is sharply increased. What to do in this case? During such a condition, called a hypertensive crisis, the pressure can reach a critical point. Sometimes the position of the patient is so difficult that he may temporarily lose consciousness and the ability to move one of the limbs.
First steps in severe crisis

Using this technique sometimes helps to reduce pressure by a couple of tens of millimeters of mercury. There is an improvement due to the fact thatthe moment of holding the breath, the heart rate decreases. The main rule - do not panic and engage in self-medication!
