It is normal for people with hypertension to be attentive both to the situations that lead to this picture and to the more common symptoms generated by the increase in their measurements.
Among these very common doubts is the relationship between blood pressure and body temperature.
On this, the general practitioner José Antonio Sabat Awad explained to the Doctoralia site that in principle fever increases the body’s metabolism to fight infection. With which it is normal to perceive a slight increase in heart rate and blood pressure.
On the other hand, says the same doctor, when there is pneumonia, an infectious process in the blood or another situation with massive effort, it can happen that the pressure decreases, a sign of gravity.
Otherwise, in some people, when blood pressure rises, says a note on the Chemocare website, the person may experience headaches. In more acute cases, nausea, dizziness, loss of vision, severe headaches or confusion may occur.
Given these symptoms, it is important to call 911 and follow the instructions.
What is normal blood pressure
The Medicine Plus website indicates that blood pressure is normal when values are below 120/80 mm Hg.
The same source indicates that it is called high blood pressure or high blood pressure when one or both blood pressure readings are usually above 130/80 mm Hg.
Considering that, as Medicine Plus indicates, if the maximum blood pressure number is between 120 and 130 mm Hg and the value of the lower number is less than 80 mm Hg, we are talking about high blood pressure.
Conversely, when blood pressure is below 90/60, it is low blood pressure or hypotension.
