OF THE TWO MAIN CATEGORISE OF HYPERTENSION -SYSTEMIC HYPERTENSION AND ‘PULMONARY HYPERTENSION – WHICH IS MORE DANGEROUS?

Simply put arterial [systemic hypertension is more silent and is the most dangerous hypertension than pulmonary hypertension these are the reasons pulmonary diseases are prominent complaints , the one who is afflicted with a lung [pulmonary]disease will certainly complain of a form of chest pain a kind of breathlessness, a form of irritating and disturbing cough, previous catarrh etc,many heart problem are silent even until the fatal damage is about to occur unless a competent hand to help in its detection.

And in respect of high blood pressure disorder it is unfortunate that the heart and the lung do work together as one unit,it is therefore sometimes difficult for many people to differentiate between a lung disease and a heart disease, strangely some doctor so called are bamboos.

This is partly because most illness of the heart affect the lung in disastrous way to the extent that even the incompetent doctor may become confused , so when their is, for example an acute adult respiratory distress syndrome [ARDS] occasioned by a a near fatal myocardial infarction [mi or heart attack] whose catalyst is either high blood pressure or an arteriosclerotic plaque of hypercholesterolaemia origin a hasty diagnosis of a lung disease like acute bronchitis or acute bronchial asthma may be entertained by the inexperienced house doctor this is because the symptoms of these disease are basically those of breathlessness and their signs are those of respiratory disease stigmata such as chest crepituus, central cyanosis and tacypnoea.

To the young physician or the inefficient doctor who may find it a big task to differentiate between cardiac asthma and bronchial asthma these are but symptoms and signs of respiratory [lungs]disease but not the illness which has no complaint, must have a way to express itself,heart disease tend to express themselves by simulating lung disease,heart diseases like high blood presure which is very silent until it is about to cause a near fatal disaster has but one way to complain through the lungs!hypertension is always silent until it has caused -it is about to cause heart attack or acute respiratory distress syndrome –otherwise know as cardiac asthma or acute pulmonary oedema.

On the other hand all lung disease have immediately and easily recognise symptoms and signs, pneumonia, for example disease will always produce some chest pain and cough if it must be called pneumonia, tuberculosis of the lung has its own characteristic ways expressing itself both to the layman and to the physician,emphysema thoracic, pleurisy flail, chest hyothrax, pnenmothrax haemothprax, pneumoconiosis bronchitis, bronchiectasis bronchial asthma, brochial carainnoma and other notable lung disorder have their ways of expressing themselves.

In every respect therefore the silent symptomless hypertension which is systemic arterial hypertension is the more dangerous disease than the more outspoken lung disease called pulmonary hypertension. Click Here to learn more

THE SYNONYMS AND TYPES OF HYPERTENSION.

Hypertension has several synonyms ‘high blood pressure Systemic hypertension arterial hypertension or hypertensive heart disease but the commonest variety of hypertension is know as essential hypertension’ strangely enough there is no part of the world that hypertension is completely absent but hypertension is a medical condition that tends to favour a people more than some others. this is the reason there are several names for the illness in different parts of the world .

For its popularity among the elite class and the socialites of our present world it is even on debate that is should be considered a symptoms –complex and not a disease state . The proponents say it is too common to be classed as a disease since it is even without any specific symptoms of its own yet it herald some detrimental disorder such as kidney failure or nerve paralysis , so , many regards it as a symptoms of a bigger disorder.

But I think illness incapacitate and annihilate. And hypertension can stylishly perform both of these tasks and it will do them very accurately too, to me illness are treated with drugs and high blood pressure is known to respond to several drugs.
Arterial hypertension or systemic hypertension is the common type. it affects the heart and the general blood circulation.

The unpopular hypertension is in various categories. This type affects organs and tissues of the body they have no direct link with high performance of the heart itself .a good examples is the type which affect the lungs and the blood flows to the airway . This is called ‘pulmonary hypertension .[pulmo’’ is latin word for the lungs]

There are some other unpopular types of hypertension too and they include ocular hypertension which means that the eyeball structure are under an increased influence of tension from the fluids bathing them .

This results is some degree of visual disturbance or even ,blindness a good evidence of ocular hypertension is the illness of the eye called glaucoma. Another beautiful subgroups of the unpopular variety of hypertension is the one which afflicts the liver. The liver may be diseased and it may be working under an increased pressure .

This means that blood flow is greatly impeded and its general workability is impaired . this type of hypertension is called portal hypertension. It is a notable killer among alcoholics hepatitis.

Also there are subdivision of the popular arterial hypertension and these include renovascular hypertension which is a representative disorder of the blood flow to the kidney and this condition gives rise to an elevated blood pressure . A good example of renovascula hypertension is the high blood pressure disorder that is associated with a narrowed blood vessel supplying the kidney [renal artery steno sis ] similarly renal hypertension is a problem primarily of the kidney which gives rise to an increased blood pressure level . It is represented by such kidney disease as p phritis olycystic kidney disease hypdronephrosis chronic glomerulone and pyelonephritis which are all linked to an elevated blood pressure as they progress .

There is post-traumatic hypertension too and it is high blood pressure which is sequel to an accident –often , a near fatal one . Also there is high blood pressure arising from defective ductless gland function. It is referred to as hypertension of endocrine origin . some other variant do exist of the popular class of arterial hypertension and they include the unstable blood pressure disorder such as labile hypertension and paroxysmal hypertension , but there are other two not well know subgroups of the popular arterial hiht blood pressure disorder that must be mentioned .

They are the arterial hypertensive heart disorder caused solely by pregnancy or that which has been corrected by surgery, these high blood pressure states are respectively called pregnancy –induced hypertension [PH] and surgically –correctable hypertension. All these are well described in the hand book –hypertension simplified by this same author,Dr Mercola Braden
