Warning Signs of High Blood Pressure



High blood pressure usually causes no symptoms and has for this reason been referred to as the “silent killer”.  People who have high blood pressure typically don't know it.  

The only way to know if your blood  pressure is  high  is through regular checkups and this important if you have a close relative who has high blood pressure.

If your blood pressure is extremely high, there may be certain symptoms to look out for, including:


Severe headache
Fatigue or confusion
Vision problems
Chest pain
Difficulty breathing
Irregular heartbeat
Blood in the urine
Pounding in your chest, neck, or ears

Well if you have any of these symptoms, consult your doctor immediately. Your doctor can let you know the best ways to keep your blood pressure in the normal range and your heart healthy.

Untreated hypertension can lead to serious diseases, including stroke, heart disease, kidney failure and eye problems.
