The Sensory Disability that Accompanies High Blood Pressure

We usually talk about high blood pressure in terms of heart attack, stroke, diabetes, dementia, and potential death.

But a substantial amount of research has demonstrated that it can also cause a specific sensory disability.

A report appeared in the January, 2015, edition of the American Journal of Hypertension that concluded that people with high blood pressure were more likely than their peers to lose their color vision.

They subjected 872 middle-aged Japanese men to a whole range of medical tests for blood pressure, diabetes, eye conditions, and so forth.

They then asked them to complete to color vision tests in which they had to rank colors by their shade.

People with the highest blood pressure (160/100) were significantly more likely to fail the color vision tests than those with normal blood pressure of 120/80.

A high diastolic score was especially strongly related to a loss of color vision. So if your bottom number is anything above 80, you might have a problem.

The study was reasonably well designed, as it ruled out diabetes, obesity, cholesterol, alcohol use, and other eye conditions as causes of the loss of color vision.

This is not the first time that blood pressure has been connected to poor vision. There are blood vessels in your eyes, after all. The American Heart Association reveals that high blood pressure may have several effects on your vision.

The problem with traditional treatments is that the side effects of blood pressure medications may also effect your eyes negatively. Therefore, using natural methods is a must.
