High Blood Pressure or Hypertension
Hypertension, commonly referred to as excessive blood pressure, occurs when the blood presses too firmly against the walls of the blood vessels (arteries). The arteries are the blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart.
Hypertension can cause the arteries to narrow or harden, which makes the heart work harder to pump blood.
Heart Attack
When the blood supply to the heart is cut off or reduced, heart attack takes place. Plaque, which is a deposit of fat, cholesterol, and other chemicals, commonly causes the obstruction in the blood vessel that supply the heart (coronary arteries).
Common heart attack symptoms include pressure, tightness, pain, or an aching or squeezing sensation in your arms or chest that may spread to your neck, jaw, or back. Breathing difficulties, heartburn, stomach pain, nausea, a cold sweat, weariness, and light-headedness or sudden dizziness are also possible.
High Cholesterol
High cholesterol, sometimes referred to as dyslipidaemia, is the term used to describe higher blood levels of one or more lipids (fats). The “bad” kind of cholesterol is referred to as LDL. That’s because it can accumulate and create clumps or plaque to grow on the artery walls.
A heart attack can be brought on by having too much plaque in your heart’s arteries. The calories you consume but don’t immediately burn are what produce triglycerides. In fat cells, triglycerides are stored. When you require them, they are released as energy.
However, if you consume more calories than you expend, triglycerides may accumulate in your body.
