what are the symptoms of high blood pressure?
Question:
Answers:
Hypertension is persistent abnormally high blood pressure. Contrary to popular belief, raised blood pressure (hypertension) seldom causes symptoms until secondary complications develop in the arteries, kidneys, brain, eyes or elsewhere. High blood pressure without complications does not cause dizziness, headache, fatigue, nosebleed or facial flushing.
Other Answers:
There really are no "signs" of high blood pressure, that's why it is called the silent killer. Some folks think a headache is an indicator but that is very unreliable.
One of the most dangerous aspects of hypertension is that you may not know that you have it. There are generally no symptoms, so you usually don't feel it. In fact, nearly one-third of people who have hypertension don't know it. The only way to find out if you have high blood pressure is to get your blood pressure checked on a regular basis. This is especially 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
If you have any of these symptoms, see a doctor immediately. You could be having a hypertensive crisis that could lead to a heart attack or stroke.
Untreated hypertension can lead to serious diseases, including stroke, heart disease, kidney failure and eye problems.

It is usually a silent disease, one detects it during the routine health check up, If it raised to a very high level one may have frequent headaches, and giddiness, or one may get it's complications like heart problems or stroke,or sudden unconsciousness.
well with me, i would start feeling a little dizzy,start seeing spots,your eyes start feeling very weak and funny.i have to take blood pressure med everyday, it can happen so quick you have no idea,one day i was fine the next i almost had a stroke when i got to the hosp. my blood pressure was 220/133.i was pregnant. and i am only 23 years old and no cain't even take one bit of pork.it has messed me up for life.
I used to suffer from it after a car accident and got really bad head aches in the back of my head , as did someone else i know with high blood pressure but the doctor said that there probably wasn't a link ?? , it is generally advised that anyone over 40 have their bp checked as there are generally no symptoms , I check mine on a regular basis after 2 years of medication it is now optimal
The majority of people don't know they have high Blood pressure until they get it checked. That's why a regular check up is best then high blood pressure can be detected and controlled early before it becomes life-threatening.
nothing that's the problem so if you have high blood pressure you dont know It because it has no symptoms
Hypertension can be asymptomatic, that is no physical (feeling) symptoms. However, usual symptoms are- headache, visual disturbances, tachycardia, protein found in the urine. high blood pressure is a symptom of an underlying cause (ie. diabetes). Therefore, you need to see a doctor if you havent already. Untreated hypertension causes long term damage to your heart, kidneys etc.
