Why is hypertension a risk factor for diabetes?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Hypertension might not cause Diabetes directly but increases the risk. People with high blood pressure usually have insulin resistance leading to Diabetes compared to those with typical blood pressure.

I'm a 19-year-old guy and I've been having these sudden sharp pains in my left arm. There's also this weird sensation in my left chest area and sometimes my stomach hurts. Occasionally, I feel a bit short of breath. I'm not sure what's going on and I'm kinda worried about it. What do you think I should do?
It is important to seek immediate medical attention as these symptoms could be indicative of a heart-related issue. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help reduce the risk of a heart attack. Please chew the tablet for faster absorption.

I'm a bit worried about my heart rate and blood pressure. When I'm sleeping, my heart rate is around 58 bpm, but when I wake up, it's suddenly at 7275 bpm, and while I'm moving, it's about 90 bpm. Also, I checked my blood pressure on a digital machine at home, and it showed readings of 12586 and 12789. Is this normal, or should I be concerned? I'm feeling a little anxious about all this.
A heart rate of 58 bpm while sleeping, 72-75 bpm upon waking, and 90 bpm when moving is within normal ranges. - Your blood pressure readings of 12586 and 12789 are also within normal limits. - There is no need to be anxious about these values as they fall within the normal range for heart rate and blood pressure. - However, if you have persistent concerns or symptoms, it is always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance.
