What are the symptoms of High blood pressure?

Question:

I've been having headaches the last few days and tylenol isnt helping. I also have been getting light headed and dizzy which is not normal. I have been feeling tired when I've done little or nothing and dont really feel like doing anything either. Someone also commented that I was very red faced. I am 32 and I otherwise good health. Does this sound like high blood pressure or something else?

Answers:
Actually high blood pressure doesn't have any symptoms, that is why it is called the "silent killer". You just don't know you have it unless you are checked.

Headaches can be a symptom of many issues. So especially a headache you have had for a few days, which an over the counter remedy has not helped I would definitely recommend seeing your physician.

If you are "otherwise in good health" you probably have a good idea when something isn't right with your body. You probably don't go to the doctor for fun or anything so, listen to your body when it says "it's time to go".

To me it sounds like high blood pressure cuz i had some of the same symptoms. Go to the doctor and have them check your blood pressure. They will be able to better tell you what you need to know.

High Blood Pressure is called the silent killer because you can have it with no symptoms at all. But with the symptoms you described I would suggest getting to a Doctor soon. There could be many things including high blood pressure or a heart problem. Heart problems can happen at any age so don't dismiss that idea too fast. Go to the doctor better safe than sorry. headaches,dizziness,irritabili. and yes it sounds like high blood get it checked. you can get it checked free at most drug stores or at wal-mart

there's no substitute for NOT getting a blood pressure test.

There are free blood pressure testing at some drug stores. Please get it checked.

High blood pressure will tear your arteries and possibly give you a grave risk for kidney damage, stroke, or an aneurism.

Unfortuately, there are NO clear risk signs of high blood pressure..hence it's called the silent killer. Blood pressure will creep up until it's too late.

Talk to a doctor. Headaches and fainting.
