vérnyomásos

Vérnyomásos is a Hungarian adjective that translates to "hypertensive" or "high-blooded" in English. It describes a person who has high blood pressure, a condition also known as hypertension. This medical state is characterized by persistently elevated arterial blood pressure, which can increase the risk of various health problems such as heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and vision loss.

The term "vérnyomásos" is commonly used in everyday conversations and medical contexts in Hungary to refer to individuals diagnosed with hypertension or exhibiting symptoms of high blood pressure. It can be used to describe a person's condition, for example, "Ő vérnyomásos" meaning "He/She is hypertensive." It can also be used adjectivally, as in "vérnyomásos beteg" which translates to "hypertensive patient."

Understanding one's blood pressure is crucial for maintaining overall health. Factors contributing to high blood pressure include genetics, age, lifestyle choices such as diet, physical activity, smoking, and alcohol consumption, as well as stress and certain medical conditions. Management of hypertension typically involves lifestyle modifications and, when necessary, medication prescribed by a healthcare professional. The adjective "vérnyomásos" serves as a direct descriptor for this prevalent health concern in the Hungarian language.
