Which are the Most Frequent High Blood Pressure Symptoms?

Most people with high blood pressure have no symptoms, even if blood pressure readings reach dangerously high levels. This is a huge danger seeing as you can have high blood pressure for years without knowing about it if you never get it checked either yourself or by a medical professional like your doctor.

A few people with high blood pressure may have:

  • Difficulty performing intense exercises
  • Shortness of breath after low intensity work or walking
  • Headaches at random periods with no visible cause
  • Possible nosebleeds

However, these symptoms aren't specific to high blood pressure. They will also usually not show until high blood pressure has reached a severe or life-threatening stage. Immediately consult your doctor if you have experienced any of the symptoms listed.

What is blood pressure and why is this important?

What is blood pressure and why is this important?

Blood is the core of every human. It is one of the most important aspects doctors look at when assessing health and contains details on our true state of health that we normally would never know. This creates pressure on the vessel walls. If the arteries are elastic, this pressure can be cushioned well.

With age, the elasticity of the blood vessels decreases. Their ability to expand is reduced and your blood pressure will rise. This can lead to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. It can even lead to a heart attack or a stroke.

Blood pressure tells us a lot about our health, but surprisingly few people know about it well enough. Which numbers are normal? Why are there two numbers? How do I measure blood pressure correctly?
