Symptoms that may indicate hypertension

It is said that hypertension can't be felt, only measured. Nonetheless, there is a whole range of symptoms that may indicate high blood pressure.

People who do not usually measure their blood pressure regularly in order to know if it is within the normal parameters or if they suffer from hypertension (high blood pressure), should be aware of the following symptoms. Signs such as feelings of anxiety, severe headache, blurred vision, or persistent fatigue may indicate hypertension. These symptoms may not be too perceptible, and they may even go unnoticed if the person is going through a period of too much stress. More severe symptoms of hypertension include shortness of breath, numbness in the hands and feet, nasal bleeding, nausea and chest pains.

It is important to take all these symptoms seriously and to consult a doctor as soon as you notice these changes. Measuring the blood pressure regularly at home is also helpful and can be done with the help of a blood pressure monitor. The best time of the day to do it is in in the morning, immediately after getting up and before breakfast. It is advisable to keep a record of the measured values - for this purpose, many blood pressure monitors are provided with their own memory - or with a blood pressure diary. This record will be very useful to your doctor if your high blood pressure persists.

In most cases an accurate monitoring of the body will provide the necessary information in good time. Sudden changes in your body, such as frequent urination, feeling thirsty all the time, insomnia, dizziness, unexplained headaches, shortness of breath, unexplained heart palpitations or ringing in the ears, may be indicators of hypertension.

Other symptoms may also include clouding of consciousness, severe cramps, paralysis and vomiting. In these cases it is recommended to act quickly, as these symptoms are already clear indicators of the body suffering an illness possibly caused by hypertension.
