Elevated pressure for influenza

Blood pressure is the force with which the blood circulating in the body presses on the walls of our blood vessels. Pressure is considered one of the main parameters of life. The term "blood pressure" can be said to refer to arterial pressure, mainly to pressure in large arteries. Pressure for influenza can be different, including increased.

Increased pressure for the flu

For comparison, consider how the forms of influenza are characterized. The level of blood pressure is less sensitive, in contrast to the frequency of heart contractions. The mild form of influenza is mainly characterized by an increase in temperature not exceeding 38 ° С, headache( moderate) and inflammation of the upper respiratory tract. The pulse does not exceed 90 beats per minute. On normal figures systolic blood pressure reaches 115-120 mm Hg. The respiratory rate is not more than 24 per minute.

In case of moderate influenza, the temperature is already 39 ° C.The manifestations of intoxication are moderately expressed, and the pulse can be increased to 120 beats per minute. In this case, there is an increased pressure - more than 120 mm Hg. And the frequency of breathing increases more than 24 per minute. There are tracheitis phenomena as a dry, painful cough with severe pain behind the sternum.

Already with severe form, the onset of the disease is acute, with a rapid rise in body temperature, up to 40 ° C and more, a prolonged fever, with an aching all over the body, insomnia, delirium, lack of appetite, nausea, vomiting, convulsions. There is a tachycardia( pulse is much more than 120 beats / min).Blood pressure can decrease less than 90 mm Hg. And may sharply increase.

Increased pressure in case of infection caused by influenza viruses may indicate severe infection. Namely, complications from the respiratory organs. On the increase in pressure in the respiratory organs may indicate swelling, as well as protrusion of veins on the neck. It is also a sign of an unfavorable course of the flu.

These are the main objective signs that make it possible to monitor the course of a rather dangerous viral infection, also to adjust the curative measures accordingly with the dynamics of the change in state. It is very important to change the conduct and behavior of preventive measures, depending on the different phases of the epidemic of influenza.
