Hi,
Your symptoms might be due to 'Hypertensive crisis'. It usually presents with the following symptoms:
- Headache
- Blurring of vision
- Confusion and seizure
-
Chest pain and difficulty in breathing
- Swelling of legs and face
Hypertensive crisis could be due to
smoking, alcohol,
overweight, lack of exercises, high salt diet,
stress, old age etc. Your history says you are not on treatment, which in turn increases the BP and its symptoms. I advise you to lifestyle modifications:
- Do regular exercises
-
YOGA and keep yourself stress free
- Salt restricted diet
- Avoid smoking, alcohol and fatty diet
- Anti-hypertensive medications
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya Vasudevan, General & Family Physician
