Hypertension

What is Diabetes Hypertension?

Diabetes Hypertension refers to the co-occurrence of high blood sugar (diabetes) and high blood pressure (hypertension). Having both conditions increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and other complications. It’s essential to manage both conditions together to prevent long-term damage to the body.

How does Diabetes Hypertension occur?

  • Diabetes: Leads to damage in the blood vessels and kidneys, making it harder to regulate blood pressure.

  • Hypertension: Causes further stress on the heart and blood vessels, which are already compromised by diabetes. When these conditions occur together, the combination can accelerate the damage to the body, especially the cardiovascular system.

Causes of Diabetes Hypertension:

  • Insulin Resistance: Common in type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance can also lead to hypertension due to its impact on blood vessel function.
  • Obesity: Being overweight increases the likelihood of both diabetes and hypertension.
  • Physical Inactivity: A sedentary lifestyle is a risk factor for both conditions.
  • Genetics: Family history can increase susceptibility to both diabetes and hypertension.

Symptoms:

  • Frequent headaches
  • Fatigue
  • Dizziness
  • Chest pain or discomfort
  • Blurred vision
  • Shortness of breath
