Everyone has heard of heart attacks and strokes - this is what we fear and try to avoid with all our might. However, this is the most common cause of death in hypertension and hypertension.
Arterial hypertension or hypertension is the most common and universally recognized diagnosis. Despite the fact that, according to statistics, every third person suffers from this disease, there is still much that is not clear, including the cause and treatment. How to avoid all these problems? How to maintain health and quality of life? In this article we will try to answer these questions.
Hypertension (hypertension) - what is it?
According to the currently accepted classification, arterial hypertension is an increase in blood pressure above 140/90 mm. right. Art. Today, there are two forms of hypertension:
- primary (or essential, i. e. the cause is unknown) - characterized by an increase in blood pressure for no apparent reason;
- secondary (symptomatic) - the cause of increased blood pressure is associated with any internal organ (liver, kidney, lung, brain, endocrine glands).
As the name suggests, the cause of essential hypertension, despite all the achievements of modern medicine, is not clear, so the only traditional method of treatment remains eliminating high blood pressure with pills. And since pills only relieve the consequences without eliminating the cause, the relevance of hypertension is strongly felt in the modern world. However, a group of medical researchers has developed a new concept for the development of hypertension, which explains the mechanism of the disease at the cellular level and is confirmed by many studies. We will talk about this innovative approach.
First of all, any disease is a disturbance in the functioning of the body. And since our large, coordinated body is made up of cells, all bodily functions are provided by them, the tiny cells.
Microlife invisible to the eye is always present in the body - some cells die, others are formed. The body's job is to maintain a balance between functioning and dead cells. The immune system is involved in this task - special macrophage cells act as cleaners - their job is to find and remove the bio debris in time. When the body's immune system cannot cope with a critical mass of dead cells, or when cells, for various reasons, stop performing their tasks normally, the balance is disturbed and disease occurs.
When does uncontrolled cell death occur and when does the cell cease to perform its function? The answer is simple: when the cell itself lacks resources. By resources we mean anything that needs to be obtained from the outside for the cell to perform its functions. Any cell, in order to maintain its function and "clean" waste products, constantly interacts with intercellular fluid, which, in turn, restores and renews its composition through contact with blood. Blood receives resources, including from the external environment: the lungs produce oxygen, the digestive system - nutrients in the form of water, fats, carbohydrates and proteins.
In order for this complex system to work and for the body to have time to get rid of damaged cells, replacing them with new ones, resources are needed that will put all this into action, into motion. Such sources are microvibrations that occur in the body due to the work of muscle cells (myofibrils). Microvibrations are always present in the body, including during sleep. Even with maximum relaxation, many muscle cells continue to work and create microvibrations of the fluid between the surrounding cells.
It is known that about 60% of the body's cells are muscle cells and they consume more than 80% of all the energy produced in the body. And almost half of this energy expenditure is required to maintain the level of microvibration during rest or background microvibration. Such enormous expenditure of energy does not happen for no reason, it is necessary for human life. The absence of microvibrations in the body means death, and its lack means disease.
Similarly, with hypertension, if there is a lack of microvibration in the body for a long time, the cells begin to perform their functions worse, which leads to the fact that the tissues begin to become "slagged", and the cells do not work. worse and die. This worsens the function of an important organ - the kidneys; problems arise in the spine, which causes the deterioration of blood supply to the brain and spinal cord. And problems with this organ are the most common causes of hypertension, and, in general, a decrease in the tone of the whole organism.
Hypertension and hypertension - what is the difference?
There are so many terms and designations in the medical world that sometimes it is very difficult for the average person to understand and understand what is happening to his body, what do all these abbreviations and diagnoses mean? First of all, let's define what is the difference between hypertension and hypertension, what is the difference?
Hypertension is a condition of high blood pressure. And hypertension has become a disease that attacks the whole body and one of the symptoms is hypertension. The stage of organ changes that cause high blood pressure is the stage of the disease.
In the accepted modern medical classification, there are 3 degrees of arterial hypertension:
Type of blood pressure and degree of hypertension |
Systolic blood pressure, mm Hg. Art. |
Diastolic blood pressure, mm Hg. Art. |
|---|---|---|
It's normal |
Less than 130 |
Less than 85 |
height |
130-139 |
85-89 |
I degree hypertension (mild) |
140-159 |
90-99 |
Stage II hypertension (moderate) |
160-179 |
100-109 |
III stage hypertension (severe) |
Greater than or equal to 180 |
Greater than or equal to 110 |
Complications and consequences of hypertension
To understand exactly how constantly rising blood pressure leads to terrible complications, what type of disease hypertension is and why it is actually dangerous, let's consider the mechanism of development (pathogenesis) of hypertension.
Long-term high blood pressure (hypertension) often leads to irreversible consequences, especially in the vascular bed:
- thickening of blood vessel walls, reducing their elasticity;
- permanent narrowing of the lumen of the small artery of the blood vessel;
- thickening of the heart muscle (myocardium);
- increased damage to the blood vessel walls due to high blood flow rates, the formation of atherosclerotic plaques at the damage site.
Since it is the vascular system, in fact, that is the supplier and carrier of external resources, let's see what happens to it with prolonged high blood pressure. Normally, the walls of blood vessels are elastic, which allows the body to quickly adapt to constantly changing conditions. But in conditions of constant high pressure and lack of microvibration, the vascular wall thickens and loses its elasticity. This happens mainly because the body, for several reasons (physical inactivity, poor diet, overweight, etc. ), suffers from a lack of microvibration, the immune system does not have time to "recycle" dead cells, and living cellscannot perform their duties fully. The body has to immediately get rid of cells that do not work and die. One way to get rid of it is to turn it into a stable structure - connective tissue, or fibrosis. On the other hand, fibrosis in the blood vessel wall significantly reduces its elasticity and strength, which can cause injury to the vessel and bleeding from it. This condition is very dangerous in the brain, because it can cause a stroke.
In addition, most organs do not need high pressure at all, and defense mechanisms are activated - spasm (narrowing) of small arteries to reduce blood flow through them. This just wastes a huge amount of resources of the whole body, which cannot last long. Therefore, to save resources, the walls of blood vessels thicken again and muscle cells are replaced by connective cells, and then the reverse increase in the lumen of blood vessels becomes impossible.
The inflexibility of the vascular wall leads to the formation of wall microtraumas and the deposition of cholesterol there. This results in narrowing of the vessel in certain areas. This means that organs and tissues do not receive their share of nutrients, which means they will not be able to perform their functions fully. The heart, on the other hand, has to work with increased force to pump blood through the inelastic (narrowed) vessels, which means it has no choice but to increase the mass of heart cells - myocytes. This condition is called myocardial hypertrophy. And everything seems to be fine, but the coronary vessels, which are meant to nourish the heart, do not become larger, and the so-called lack of myocardial blood supply occurs - ischemia. And if atherosclerotic plaque grows on the altered coronary artery wall, then there is a high risk of completely stopping the blood supply to the myocardium in this area - the death of part of the myocardium occurs - a heart attack.
Stroke, heart attack and atherosclerosis are the most common complications of hypertension and the immediate cause of death.
Is it possible to get disability if you have hypertension?
Disability is the inability to perform normal household activities and provide personal care. With the development of hypertension, when all the body's resources are exhausted, the development of heart failure begins. From the name it is clear that in this condition, the heart cannot perform its main function - supplying organs and tissues with oxygen. When heart failure becomes critical, a person experiences a significant loss in quality of life, and even putting the kettle on in the kitchen equates to a heroic feat. Of course, in such a situation a person is given disability due to hypertension.
Conditions and causes of hypertension
What are the main causes of hypertension? What triggers this whole reaction and what causes this disease?
Our body, as we have mentioned, is an internal universe made up of billions of cells that all work as a unit. This extraordinary self-regulating process in the universe allows a person to live and survive in environmental conditions. Everything that happens in the body is not intentional and conditioned by something, it is needed for something.
To understand what can cause a person's hypertension, we need to once again pay attention to the cells. For any cellular process, cellular components (proteins, fats, carbohydrates) need to meet in space. Familiar microvibrations from the surrounding inner space play a big role in this. With a lack of microvibration, first of all, cellular functions are disturbed, and this, along the chain, leads to nutritional disorders of the spinal cord, kidneys, brain and, as a final consequence, the development of hypertension. At the same time, it is important to understand that if the body increases blood pressure, then for some reason it is necessary. It would be more accurate to say - very important! However, the causes of hypertension in men and women are largely similar.
Insufficient kidney function
The kidney is the only human organ that physiologically requires high blood pressure, because the blood must pass under pressure through a special membrane to clear it. At a pressure below 80 mm Hg. Art. the kidneys stop filtering (cleaning) the blood, and this can be fatal.
Therefore, the body cannot, under any circumstances, allow the kidneys to reduce or stop filtration. If for some reason the kidneys cannot cope with filtering (cleaning) the blood, then the brain receives instructions to increase blood pressure to increase the productivity of the kidneys. This is one of the most common causes of hypertension.
In this case, the kidneys themselves may be fine, but the "pollution" of the whole blood may exceed the kidney's ability to clear it at normal pressure. Therefore, the body needs to improve kidney performance by increasing blood pressure.
In this case, it is enough to improve kidney function and the pressure will be normal. And kidney function can be improved with a more intensive supply of nutrients to the cells and cleaning of waste products. To do this, it is enough just to increase the level of microvibration (microcirculation) in the kidney area. In addition, the kidneys are one of the few organs that do not have their own muscle fibers, so they receive microvibrations from the neighboring working muscles of the abdomen and back. From this point of view, it becomes clear how physical inactivity, incorrect posture, and an increase in the proportion of adipose tissue lead to the deterioration of kidney function and, as a consequence, to hypertension. As a result, to improve kidney function and disrupt this entire chain, we again conclude that it is enough to normalize the level of kidney microvibration.
Currently, there is only one device in the world that can specifically increase the level of microvibrations in any human organ. We are talking about unique developments - medical devices for vibroacoustic effects and methods - phonation.
The effectiveness of treating hypertension using this device has been confirmed by many studies.
Impaired blood supply to the brain
Another cause may be a disruption in the blood supply to the brain or spinal cord due to narrowing or narrowing of the arteries. This can occur as a result of problems with the spine (osteochondrosis, intervertebral hernia), a congenital feature of the vascular bed, which may worsen over time due to atherosclerosis.
The body cannot allow interruptions in the blood supply to the brain, so it increases the pressure to push the necessary amount of blood through the existing narrow channels.
Then solving problems with blood supply to the brain or spinal cord can reduce stress. Vibroacoustic therapy using devices can also be used for this purpose. With the help of a special transducer (vibraphone), the device's mechanical microvibrations are transmitted through touch into the human body to a depth of 10 cm and lead to an increase in microcapillary blood and lymph flow. And this, in turn, leads to better cell nutrition and timely removal of their waste products.
Therefore, with the help of phonation, it is possible to eliminate the swelling of the spine due to osteochondrosis or intervertebral hernia, which will allow you to "release" the pinched artery and increase the blood supply to the brain.
Eating disorders
Overloading the body with simple carbohydrates, fats, alcohol, nicotine, etc. leads to the fact that a large amount of resources are spent on their disposal (neutralization and cleaning), and as a result, the body does not have time. to restore the cellular balance in the vascular system, there is a shortage of resources, which requires the development of hypertension. All these factors lead to the fact that young organisms also suffer from a lack of resources, and as a result, in the modern world we are increasingly faced with hypertension in young people.
Hormonal disorders
It is absolutely known that hormone levels significantly affect blood pressure. The body has a complex interaction between the entire endocrine system, which includes glands located in the brain (pituitary and hypothalamus) and glands found throughout the body (thyroid, parathyroid, reproductive). These glands should normally ensure the balance of the body's internal environment, including stable blood pressure. With a lack of microvibration, as we already know, nutrition and all important functions at the cellular level suffer, which means that with a lack of microvibration, the entire endocrine system, which, by the way, is very sensitive to a lack of nutrients, will function incorrectly and intermittently- alternate. Hormone levels are disturbed and blood pressure will "jump. "It is enough to normalize the blood supply and increase the microvibration of the endocrine glands for hormone levels to return to normal.
Psychosomatics
In our fast-paced age, we should not forget the so-called psychosomatics and their contribution to hypertension. The fact is that with constant psychological stress, a sea of biologically active substances is released into the blood, which increases vascular tone and pressure. Constant stress and strong negative emotions lead to an increase in muscle tone, and this immediately exhausts the body's resources and then all body functions decrease, which creates the conditions for disease to occur. In this case, it is necessary not only to normalize the microvibration background, but also to pay attention to the emotional component.
Age characteristics
Hypertension at a young age, in children and adolescents, stands out. As a rule, the cause in this case is most often an endocrine (hormonal) disorder or spinal disease. At the same time, "adult" drugs cannot always overcome hypertension in this group of patients without harming the child's body. Therefore, the task arises to use methods to reduce the dose of the drug used. One such method is phonation. The effectiveness of reducing drug doses or even the ability to do without them has been confirmed by research.
Hypertension in the elderly also has its own characteristics, because. . . choosing a drug dose due to concomitant diseases can be very difficult, and often the doctor finds himself in a kind of "fork" - when the prescription of drugs to lower blood pressure leads to the deterioration of the function of other organs. And in this case, phonation can come to the rescue, which is safe and effective when used in elderly patients.
Phonics is an effective modern non-drug method of treating and preventing hypertension
The effectiveness of the method is confirmed by medical research, clinical practice and reviews from doctors. Treatment and prevention of hypertension is carried out using a compact vibroacoustic influence medical device. The advantage of this method is the ability to perform the procedure independently at home, as well as the absence of side effects and a small number of contraindications.
