Most people with high blood pressure Blood pressure - dangerous if his swing?   (ie, hypertension) any symptoms of this condition are missing - especially if the disease occurs without complications. This is due to the fact that hypertension develops slowly, very slowly, and it may take several years before it causes noticeable symptoms, but even then they are usually mild and nonspecific. That is why high blood pressure is often called the "silent killer." People with hypertension are usually unaware of their illness, while during the medical examination it becomes clear that they have very high blood pressure.

Possible symptoms of hypertension

In some cases, however, high blood pressure may cause some symptoms of hypertension. Its symptoms are possible:

• Dizziness;
• Blurred visible objects;
• Nausea;
• Headache.

Because these symptoms are non-specific and, in most cases, is not very intense, experiencing their people often do not seek medical care until symptoms appear more severe organ damage that may be caused by chronic hypertension.

But the later stages of hypertension may occur symptoms such as lightheadedness, fainting and nosebleeds. These symptoms may indicate a life-threatening condition, and when they occur as soon as possible to seek medical help.

Symptoms of malignant hypertension

About 1% of people with high blood pressure may develop a severe form of hypertension Hypertension - dangerous consequences Known as malignant hypertension.

When malignant hypertension diastolic blood pressure is often greater than 140 mm Hg. Art. This disorder can cause symptoms such as severe headache, nausea, dizziness.

To prevent brain hemorrhage or stroke Stroke - a serious brain injury Which may be the result of malignant hypertension patient should be hospitalized and quickly take action to lower blood pressure.

What else you need to know about the symptoms of hypertension

Despite the fact that hypertension is often asymptomatic, it causes damage to the internal organs, and can lead to disorders such as:

• Congestive heart failure Heart failure - when the heart is unable to cope with the work ;
• Heart attack;
• A stroke or "mini-stroke," also known as a transient ischemic attack;
• Peripheral arterial disease;
• Renal insufficiency;
• Damage to the eyes.

The symptoms of any of these violations may indicate hypertension; They can not be ignored and put off a visit to the doctor.

Patients often ask whether it is possible at the reception of a drug taking alcoholic beverages. The answer is clearly negative: the alcohol - a substance that actively affects all organs and systems, and if it is taken with another active substance affects the body, it is clear that nothing good will come of it.

How does the body egilok

Egilok - a drug that inhibits the effect on the heart (and partly on other organs) adrenaline. Under the influence of dilate coronary egilok (feeding the heart muscle) artery, resulting in the heart muscle receives additional nutrients and oxygen, which helps to reduce angina attacks and reduce the risk of myocardial infarction Myocardial infarction - the most formidable diagnosis . Brakes and transmission of nerve impulses at povodyaschey system of the heart - it restores cardiac rhythm and slows the heart rate. Therefore egilok contraindicated bradycardia when the heart rate is less than fifty per minute.

Simultaneously, under the influence of egilok reduced blood pressure, so people who are prone to hypotension (low blood pressure) should not take egilok.

Side effects can be noted egilok its depressing effect on the central nervous system of the patient against its admission may appear lethargy, depression Depression - a little more than a bad mood , Confusion. May cause adverse effects on the liver and egilok a transient disturbance of its functions.

How alcohol affects the body

In the blood vessels of alcohol acts in two stages: first, dramatically expanding their (reduced blood pressure, heart rate slows), and then causes a persistent narrowing (blood pressure may rise). Alcohol also has a direct toxic effect on cells in the brain and liver.

Some substances promote rapid inactivation alcohol degradation in the liver. These substances include epinephrine.

The main danger of combining alcohol and egilok - collapse

The main and immediate danger will be a sharp drop in blood pressure Blood pressure - dangerous if his swing?   (AP) - which is why egilok can not be combined with alcohol. It is known that healthy people do not take egilok, it is taken only by those who have heart problems. For them, receiving egilok combination with alcohol can result in a catastrophe - the collapse.

The collapse occurs due to a sharp reduction in blood pressure, leading to hypoxia (lack of oxygen) and inhibition of the brain vital body functions. The patient in this case feels weakness, dizziness Dizziness - if the ground is slipping from under his feet Sometimes loses consciousness. If it just will not be given medical help, he would die of exhaustion of energy resources of the brain.

The second danger - an overdose of alcohol

Adrenaline - a biologically active substance that increases the rate of oxidation of alcohol in the human body. And as egilok blocks the action of adrenaline, alcohol will be oxidized slowly, it may be accumulating in the body and overdose.

First of all overdose affect the state of the central nervous system (CNS): Large amounts of alcohol inhibit the activity of the central nervous system. That is, in this case, alcohol has the same effect as egilok, so the person has a weakness, a weakness, it is slowed down, lost orientation in the environment. As a protective reaction of the body may appear vomiting, followed by condition improves. With increasing intoxication deepened impaired consciousness, breathing becomes sparse, breathy, falling blood pressure, all of which can result in coma and death of the patient.

The third danger - toxic effects on the liver

When receiving egilok may experience transient liver problems, so welcome even small doses of alcohol can dramatically reinforce a negative effect on the liver. If a man has no liver disease, it is likely, such a combination will not affect the liver if you drink a small amount of weak liquor.

But, unfortunately, many of liver disease are asymptomatic, so it is difficult to say how simultaneous reception egilok and alcohol affect the liver of a particular patient. It is quite possible effects of light transient liver dysfunction to severe toxic hepatitis.

What patients receiving egilok

Do not drink in any case, even for birthdays and New Year - it is dangerous to life, not to mention the consequences for health.

There are drugs, while taking which allowed the use of a certain amount of weak alcohol egilok but not one of them.
