Hypertension Indications

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?
