10 Signs of High Blood Pressure
High Blood Pressure Sign #6: Irregular Heartbeat
The human heart is able to compensate for a short-term increase in the blood pressure, which often occurs due to emotional or physical changes. However, as high blood pressure is a chronic problem that people tend to face for years, the heart gradually becomes incapable of compensating the higher blood pressure levels and so the compensatory mechanisms start to fail. As a result, various heart problems may develop, including an irregular heartbeat.
An irregular heartbeat is any heartbeat which is faster, slower, or irregular compared to how it should be, otherwise known as arrhythmia. One thing that you should keep in mind is that not all arrhythmias are life-threatening. But, this does not mean that you should not get medical help and get treatment.
