(24) Hypertension

Generally, when the blood pressure reaches or exceeds 140/90 mm Hg during quiet rest, it is high blood pressure. This disease belongs to the scope of vertigo, hyperactivity of liver yang, internal injury and headache in traditional Chinese medicine.

Modern medicine believes that blood pressure increases with age. The older you get, the less elastic the arteries will be, and the resistance will increase. Cramps due to certain stimuli can increase blood pressure. Mood swings, excessive tension, etc. can cause the cerebral subcortical vasomotor central nervous system dysfunction, resulting in an increase in blood pressure.

The main symptoms are headache, irritability, constipation, irritability, stagnation in the neck, red face, red ears, dry mouth, etc.
