Resistant hypertension refers to high blood pressure that remains uncontrolled despite treatment with multiple antihypertensive medications. Endocrine hypertension involves high blood pressure caused by hormonal imbalances in the endocrine system.
Risk factors for resistant/endocrine hypertension include obesity, kidney issues, sleep apnea, age, genetics, high stress, poor lifestyle habits, and hormonal imbalances. These factors contribute to uncontrolled high blood pressure despite treatment, leading to increased cardiovascular risks. Seeking medical attention for accurate diagnosis and management is essential.
Symptoms of resistant/endocrine hypertension include consistently high blood pressure, frequent and severe headaches, persistent fatigue, chest pain (angina), blurred vision, and shortness of breath. These signs indicate uncontrolled high blood pressure despite treatment and necessitate medical evaluation for accurate diagnosis and tailored management.
Consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management if you experience persistent high blood pressure or related symptoms. Addressing underlying causes, lifestyle changes, and tailored medications are key in managing resistant and endocrine hypertension.
