Hi All,

After knowing what is High Blood Pressure ( Hypertension ) now let me give you information about the symptoms. Most people with high blood pressure feel fine and only find out they have high blood pressure during a routine exam or a doctor visit for another problem .Btw the only way to know if you have high blood pressure is to have it measured with a sphygmomanometer.

There’s 6 High Blood Pressure  symptoms:

1. Headache . People with BP 180/120 mmHg or more have tendencies of very frequent headache. Yes almost everyone gets headaches at some time or another – they can be due to anxiety, tension or minor infections. Such ‘ordinary’ headaches are equally common in people with high blood pressure, but a cautious physician will always check your blood pressure first before dismissing associated headaches as insignificant. Some of these headaches can be a warning of early damage to the vascular system in the brain or the retina, which will require urgent blood pressure control to prevent fatal complications.
2. Breathlessness ( dyspnea ). This one occurs in people that usually obese.
3. Emotional behaviour .
4. Blurred vision . Changes in vision, for instance, blurred vision can also be a sign of high blood pressure.
5. Palpitations . There are many different types of palpitations.  Lots of times a doctor will tell you not to pay any attention to palpitations.  This is because palpitations can be due to nervousness and worrying about them only makes you more nervous and so the palpitations get worse. .  High blood pressure is one of the reasons a person could experience palpitations
6. Tinnitus. Ringing in the ear, which is also known as tinnitus, is seen as one of the symptoms of hypertension

Symptoms of high blood pressure are usually varied. Before jumping into any conclusion, consult your doctor first to save you from unnecessary worries of high blood pressure.
