Hypertension or Hypotension? -

Do you think i have hypertension or hypotension? ok, so i got off my bed and i brushed my teeth and as soon as i was about to leave the bathroom, I couldn t see anything for about 3-4 minutes, and after i sat down for a while i could slowly see everything. before, while i was brushing i felt nauseous but i thought it was nothing. and when i couldn t see and after a few minutes after i could see i was pale and i was trembling. (not cuz i was cold or anything.) oh and im only a teen, in my mid-teens Thanks. BEST ANSWER REWARDED.

It s hypotension when you experience the temporary blindness, and maybe hypertension that induced it. You got off your bed, and experience what they call orthostatic or postural hypotension. It happens when you change your posture suddenly from lying to standing. Blood that have been accumulated in the upper part of your body suddenly fall down to the lower part of the body, thus explaining the sudden blindness. Hypertension exacerbates this effect due to increased blood pressure causing higher rate of blood falling down during postural change. But from your age, I personally think it s probably because of the long sleep. :)

You may have Hypertention because :Hypertension is a condition characterized by above normal blood pressure. High blood pressure exists when the systolic pressure exceeds 140 mmHg or the diastolic pressure exceeds 90 mmHg. Causes of hypertension include sympathetic nerve activity that constricts blood vessels, too much salt in the diet or reabsorption of sodium ion from the kidneys, and artherosclerosis. This includes eye damage

Hypotension, I had the exact same symptoms: I blacked out, nausea, pale, sweaty, trembling, and faintness. I was diagnosed with low blood pressure. If that happens just try to lay down on your side, that works.

Hypo-Not enough Hyper-Too much I would say Hypotension Low blood pressure Symptoms: Dizziness, blurry vision, confusion, weakness, and nausea Go see a doctor Good luck hope you get better

hypertension does not give you any signs. That is why it is called the silent death Talk to yours parents and tell them to take you to the doctor. Could be something worse.

Low blood sugar.
