Symptoms of high blood pressure
High blood pressure often does not present with any symptoms, which is why the effects of this condition (heart disease, heart failure, stroke, kidney disease) often come as an unexpected and unwanted surprise. This is the reason why high blood pressure is known as the "silent killer" - it does not often present with any symptoms until there are very serious complications.
Many people who have high blood pressure do not even know that they have this condition until they have a blood pressure check at the doctor's office (or hospital or other medical facility).
If there are any symptoms of high blood pressure, they will be:
- Blurred vision
- Dizziness
- Feeling faint
- Headaches
- Nausea
- Nosebleeds is an early symptom of high blood pressure
- Ringing in the ears
- Urinating at night
