5 Symptoms Of High Blood Pressure:
The symptoms of high blood pressure will present themselves silently at first if your blood pressure goes above normal, which is 120/80. In the long term, high blood pressure can cause severe health problems, leading to heart disease. The pressure gets high when your heart has to pump harder due to narrow arteries.
Some 5 common symptoms of high blood pressure are:
1. Headache
Headaches are among the most common symptoms of high blood pressure. Although headaches can occur for a variety of reasons, it is a good idea to monitor your blood pressure if you have persistent headaches. Studies suggest that the headaches linked to hypertension mostly affect both sides of the head. It often tends to get worse over time if the person is engaged in any activity and is also known to cause a pulsating effect.
2. Chest Pain
The heart is a muscular organ, and if it is feeling tired pumping blood, it is likely that you will experience chest pains. While most people tend to ignore mild chest pains and dismiss them as regular muscular aches, if they persist over a few days then it’s better to take notice. The pain usually radiates from the chest in an outward motion, and while it can be related to a muscle relaxant, it is better to get to the root cause of the problem.
3. Dizziness
While dizziness is not an exclusive symptom of high blood pressure, if you experience it with the other symptoms and are also in a lot of stress, you need to keep a check on your dizziness. It needs a long term cure since it can set in at any time and can lead to loss of balance, coordination, and could lead to a stroke. High blood pressure is a contributing factor for a stroke. If you feel dizzy, you need to first catch hold of something or someone for immediate support, find a place to sit and then look for help.
4. Shortness Of Breath
Do you feel breathless after climbing merely one flight of stairs? Get your blood pressure checked. While there could be several reasons for this. Among them is pulmonary hypertension, which means high blood pressure in the arteries connecting the heart and lungs. Before you jump to conclusions on this condition, it is better to have your doctor rule out any of the common conditions related to shortness of breath.
5. Blurred Vision
Since high blood pressure can affect many organs in the body, it affects the blood vessels in the retina as well. They get stiffer and harden up. And that can lead to blurred vision. Like the other symptoms, this is not an exclusive symptom of high blood pressure but should be considered in conjunction with the other symptoms. This blood vessel damage in the eyes can cause further harm if not checked. Often people are not aware that hypertension is linked to the eye as well.
