This is in fact not the case, as the common symptoms of high blood pressure are very difficult to diagnose.
Most people with high blood pressure have no symptoms at all, so you can’t just assume that your blood pressure levels are normal if you haven’t had them tested. People with high blood pressure often do not feel sick. In fact, long term high blood pressure or ‘hypertension’ is often called ‘the silent killer’ because it may cause no symptoms at all for a long time.
Your organs and tissues can be damaged by hypertension without you knowing or feeling any ‘external’ symptoms. If you have long term high blood pressure, then you will have a higher risk for heart disease and other medical problems than people with normal blood pressure. Serious complications can be avoided by getting regular blood pressure checks and treating hypertension as soon as it is diagnosed. What are the Common Symptoms of High Blood Pressure?
Most people with long term high blood pressure or ‘primary hypertension’ (see below) don’t have any obvious symptoms at all, also the possible symptoms of high blood pressure vary quite a lot from one person to another.
Also, many of these symptoms could also be symptoms of other health problems, however here are a few of the more common symptoms of high blood pressure to keep an eye out for. One of the common symptoms of high blood pressure is chronic headaches. When you get chronic headaches that last for days (rather than just hours) you should immediately see a doctor to get your blood pressure checked.
Dizziness or Vertigo Blurry or double vision. Drowsiness Nausea Shortness of breath. Usually when this occurs people start to get a little concerned. Often by this time though the blood pressure has probably reached high enough levels to be dangerous as this is one of the later symptoms of high blood pressure you’ll experience.
