Head heaviness and neck pressure: Are these early signs of rising blood pressure?

Head Weighing and Neck Pressure: Initial Indications That Your Blood Pressure Might Increase

As a rule, hypertension is insidious. This silent threat is a harbinger of something more severe if left untreated. At the same time, millions of people have increased blood pressure and don't know about this yet. The signs of such a health problem can start showing up gradually. Head heaviness or neck pressure are unusual feelings which may seem weird. Though they are not indicative of hypertension per se, they could indicate that your cardiovascular system requires some attention. This article will explain what is meant by elevated blood pressure. In addition, we'll explore some initial symptoms which can show the beginning of cardiovascular problems.

What Is Hypertension?

First of all, hypertension refers to increased blood pressure. This phenomenon occurs when the force of blood inside the veins is too high. Thus, your heart pumps much harder to send the blood around the body. Such a process puts additional pressure on your veins and may lead to heart failure. Elevated blood pressure is not a disease in and of itself but a cardiovascular factor.

Types or Stages of High Blood Pressure

Your blood pressure is measured as two numbers — systolic (upper) and diastolic (lower). Hypertension is generally classified into stages:

Risk Factors & Complications

Diagnosis of High Blood Pressure

Modern Approach

• Measuring blood pressure with a cuff (sphygmomanometer)
• Ambulatory blood pressure measurement for 24 hours
• Blood test to measure cholesterol and sugar levels
• ECG / Echocardiography if complications arise

Ayurvedic Diagnosis

In Ayurveda, hypertension is considered to be due to the imbalance of Vata and Pitta doshas, which affect Hridaya (heart) and Rakta Vaha Srotas (blood channels). The factors such as stress, improper lifestyle, dietary habits, and emotional instability might disturb these doshas and cause physical conditions such as heaviness, pressure, and circulatory disorders.

High Blood Pressure According to Ayurveda

High blood pressure, according to Ayurveda, is called:

• Raktagata Vata
• Vyana Vata imbalance

This causes poor circulation and erratic energy flow, which gives rise to symptoms such as headaches, heaviness, and tightness in the neck/head region.

Ayurvedic Factors Causing High Blood Pressure

• A diet unsuitable to one’s Prakriti
• Extreme stress and emotions
• Insufficient sleep and elimination of toxins
• Imbalance in digestion and formation of Ama
