Why does a
person with high blood pressure sweat
lot ?
Answers
Explanation:
Yes, it usually increases body temperature.
When you’ve hypertension, your body’s metabolism increases and causes increased heat output from your cells. If it is for stress, your blood glucose levels will increase too. Your heart’s beat rate increases as well, causing your chest to get warmer.
Shortly, high blood pressure won’t make you as hot as you may think, it just increases heat output (due to increased metabolism in the cells) from your cells.
Here are some examples:
BP in the normal range (<120/80): Your skin looks normal in color and touches normally.
Hypertension Stage 1 (up to 139/89): Your skin may look reddish on some thinner parts such as ears and palm.
Hypertension Stage 2 (up to 159/99): Your skin looks reddish on most of the thinner parts such as your face, palm, ears, and lips.
Hypertension Stage 3 (up to 179/109): Your skin looks reddish on most of your body, blood vessels are a lot visible in your eyes and may get bumpy under your skin (mostly hands).
Hypertension Stage 4 (higher than 180/110): Don’t wait for the signs to get more serious! get to a hospital ASAP! Also, most common signs are too bumpy blood vessels, sometimes they may shred in the eyes and arms.
*Just in case if you don’t have access to a hospital or a doctor, drink a lot of cold water and put your feet in a container full of chilled water, if it is still high or increasing, get 1/4 of Aspirin. Anyway, I don’t suggest the last one, only your doctor can say what is best for you. (Aspirin makes blood thinner, may cause bleeding on some people with low platelets count such as ITP patients (like myself)).
Note: Hypertension may not have any signs on some people, and some of the signs I said may not be signs of HBP only, for example, reddish skin can be due to thick blood with high RBC count.
Edit: These are my signs and may not happen to some people. Also, hypertension is called “Silent Killer” because it doesn’t have signs on a lot of people.
Shortly, signs may differ between humans!
is due to the phenomenon called hypertension .
