It’s interesting that high blood pressure is linked to poor brain health outcomes (AFAIK).
Maybe high blood pressure is the body trying to compensate for reduced blood flow?
- treeman79 6y agoIHH. High inter cranial pressure is horrible on cognitive abilities. If I get a spike, it can take a week to be back to normal brain function. It puts a lot of pressure on the veins, taking them close to bursting. Body needs time to heal. One insidious part is that exercise makes it worse. So if you exercise, pressure spikes, you need a week or two to recover. I spent years trying to push through exhaustion, but everytime I worked out I would need weeks to recover. So I made little progress. Proper diagnosis and medication suddenly enabled me to exercise daily. Massive life changer.
