Is it true there are no symptons with high blood pressure? I had high blood pressure when I was pregnant, at first there were no symptoms but as it got worse I had headaches and blurred vision. There are often no symptoms at all, or the symptoms are very subtle, small changes that a person would not generally associate with being "sick." THere are symptoms but not always. Headaches, heart pounding, dizzyness. If its bad I think you might find blood in urine. I'm not sure the blood is visible to the eye though. Yes, and no. If it is caught in time, before it gets too high, there are no symptoms that one would notice. However, if it were to go undetected long enough, and be high enough, there are symptoms. Headaches, are on symptom. Maybe something with the ears. I'm not sure about things like nose bleeds, etc., but headaches is one thing. The best way to check your blood pressure, is NOT with those bp machines in the stores, where you sit and do it, those are not calibrated correctly. The local fire dept. at one of the stations, as long as they are not out on an emergency call, can upon request, check your blood pressure for free. They can even give you a bp card for you to keep track of your blood pressure, to give to your dr on your next visit. Or, check with your dr.'s office to see if a nurse could check it for you. I don't know if there is a charge for that or not, please ask your dr.'s office. Or, buy a blood pressure kit at your local pharmacy, and check it yourself. Watching your salt intake, keeping it low, is helpful on keeping your bp normal, and drinking 8 glasses of water per day helps too. And exercise-like a 30 min. walk at least three times per week. Take care. Correct, the majority of patients have no symptoms. Most patients who present with headache, and turn out to have hypertension, never really had levels of blood pressure sufficient to explain the symptom, and it is probably coincidence. Other than routine checks at their GP, which are done much more frequently now, BP problems are now likely to be picked up at optician's eye checks, where the eye changes of hypertension are noted. Insurance medicals, chemists, or by patients who buy their own machines. There probably is a real increase in patients with hypertension, this is due to the decrease in patients living a healthy lifestyle, high salt, little exercise and obesity, but there is also probably a much higher pick up rate these days as well. GP for more years than I care to remember High blood pressure usually causes no symptoms. the symptoms are usually mild and nonspecific.it is often describe as "the silent killer." People who have high blood pressure typically don't know it until their blood pressure is measured. Sometimes people w/ high blood pressure have the following symptoms: Headache ,Dizziness ,Blurred vision ,Nausea. that's all i can give.. |
