2. Vision Changes:
Hypertension can cause gradual narrowing and constriction of retinal arteries. Prolonged uncontrolled high blood pressure may result in arterial wall hardening, leading to hypertensive arteriosclerotic retinopathy, which can cause vision changes and even blindness.
3. Urinary Changes:
The impact of hypertension on the kidneys is often subtle. One observable indicator is an increase in foamy urine, indicating potential kidney damage due to hypertension. Prompt medical examination is necessary in such cases.
4. Sleep Disorders:
Hypertension can stimulate the sympathetic nervous system and the cerebral cortex, leading to increased secretion of excitatory neurotransmitters. This can result in insomnia, characterized by difficulty falling asleep, vivid dreams, restless sleep, and easy awakening.
