“Obesity is a known risk factor for the development of hypertension. Most obese people suffer from respiratory arrest during sleep. Then the brain feels the lack of oxygen, thinks that the blood does not enter our body, and stimulates the sympathetic systems. The latter constrict arterial vessels, increase the heart rate, which leads to an increase in pressure, it becomes constantly high throughout the day, ”Gandelman said.
Doctors recommend limiting salt intake. According to them, it retains water in the body, due to edema, blood vessels constrict and pressure rises. In addition, it is advisable to stop smoking and exercise regularly. Thus, it will be possible to reduce the pressure by eight to ten millimeters of mercury.
