Unfortunately, in a lot of cases high blood pressure and hypertension is often undetectable until without a visit to the doctor (perhaps this is why they call it the ‘silent killer’). However, there are certain symptoms that many hypertension sufferers say they have experienced.
Nose – People with hypertension problems often have nose bleeds and nasal pains. Their blood problems are responsible for carrying more blood than usual to the nose, where it leaks out.
Eyes – In a similar manner, hypertension can force too much blood into the eyes. Patients afflicted with hypertension often have overly bloodshot and reddened eyes. In severe cases, the build up of blood can become so severe that arteries in the eye burst. Signs of blurry or impaired vision may be an early warning of hypertension.
Fatigue – Hypertension can result in people experiencing insomnia and being unable to sleep at night. Because of this, they lack energy during the day and get tired easily. The odd sleepless night in itself is probably nothing to worry about, but if experienced in tandem with other symptoms it could be a sign of high blood pressure.
Shortness of Breath – This is often linked to other symptoms such as nausea, headaches and increased urination due the the damage hypertension can enact on the kidneys and other organs.
In short, the only definite way to be sure that you do not have high blood pressure is to go to a doctor and have a blood pressure test. If you are worried that you are suffering from some of the above signs of high blood pressure, consult your doctor for a thorough check up.
