If small amounts of blood or protein are found in the urine, this may point to the problem of your kidneys. In fact, kidneys problem is the major cause in secondary hypertension.
Hypertension and irregular heartbeats?
Sometimes high blood pressure may also be followed with heartbeat problem, especially like irregular heartbeats. In fact, there are many medicines prescribed by doctor to treat hypertension is intended to help stabilize the heartbeats.
Since high blood pressure is likely to make your heart work harder than usual, this is also potential to affect the heartbeats.
Medically, irregular heartbeats are called arrhythmia. It can occur with a normal rate of heartbeat. The normal heartbeat rate is about 50-100 beats /minute. There is also a chance for arrhythmia to occur with the rapid-heartbeats or slow-heartbeats.
Irregular heartbeats can also be caused by other conditions. If you have had personal history of a heart attack — this may cause an injury to your heart, causing a few consequences such as irregular heartbeats.
A recovery after surgery, heart muscle’s changes, and excessive salt in the bloodstream (one of risk factors for hypertension) may also factor into irregular heartbeats.
