Disease/Condition Glossary
High blood pressure (hypertension): It is a condition in which the blood exerts increased pressure on the walls of blood vessels leading to hypertension. This condition can lead to hardened arteries (blood vessels), decreasing the blood and oxygen flow to the heart. Raised blood pressure can cause chest pain (angina) and heart attack (when blood supply to the heart is blocked). Additionally, high blood pressure also causes brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. Symptoms of high blood pressure include headache, dizziness, nose bleed, changes in vision, chest pain, weakness and dyspnoea (shortness of breath). However, most of the time, the signs and symptoms of hypertension are none.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): It is a mental health disorder that causes hyperactivity and impulsive behaviour. People having ADHD have trouble focusing their attention on a single task or sitting still for a longer time. It often begins in childhood and lasts through adulthood. Symptoms of ADHD include limited attention and hyperactivity.
Migraine: Migraine is a neurological condition which is characterised by an intense, debilitating headache. Hormonal changes, stress, lack or excess of sleep, bright lights, loud sounds, and certain foods and drinks can trigger migraine headaches. Symptoms of migraine include throbbing pain in one particular area with varying intensity, nausea, vomiting, numbness or tingling sensation, difficulty speaking, and sensitivity to sound and light.
Hot flushes: Hot flushes are one of the most common symptoms of menopause and perimenopause. Symptoms include profuse sweating and a sudden feeling of warmth generally over the face, chest, and neck.
