Hypertension intracranial

Sometimes a person experiences a feeling of intense pressure in the head, accompanied by pain and vision problems. This may indicate the presence of a disease such as intracranial hypertension. Do not pay attention to the pain of this kind is dangerous, because the disease can lead to even a complete loss of vision.

There are two types of this disease:

1. Primary.
2. Secondary.

Hypertension intracranial primary type appears for no apparent reason. Usually, this problem is faced by women who are obese or have a significant overweight. But the secondary form is a consequence of the progression of a disease, for example, lupus, blood clots in the vessels, leukemia. Theoretically, the cause of the disease can be any disease, which is why specialists rarely find out the true premises.

Since the essence of hypertension is a sharp and strong increase in brain pressure, then it can affect different violations or abnormal phenomena. Often observed headaches due to the formation of a tumor, which squeezes the vessels and interferes with normal blood circulation. In addition, the cause may be a trauma, that is, a crushed fracture of the skull, as well as a non-standard increase in the volume of brain tissue.

In the risk group, in addition to women with increased body weight, there are babies who, during the delivery, received asphyxia. Of course, the smokers of hypertension intracranial do not bypass, because they have a predisposition to the formation of thrombi, which leads to the creation of additional pressure in the vessels. Diseases of the endocrine system can give impetus to the development of intracranial pressure. It's not a secret for anyone that a stressful state or depression affects the general condition of a person negatively, and can lead to such unpleasant consequences.
