High blood pressure (hypertension) is often called the "silent killer" because it usually has no obvious symptoms until it reaches dangerous levels. However, some people with very high blood pressure may experience warning signs.
Possible Signs & Symptoms of High Blood Pressure:
Frequent Headaches – Especially in the morning or at the back of the head.
Dizziness or Lightheadedness – Can be a sign of dangerously high BP.
Blurred Vision or Vision Changes – High BP can damage blood vessels in the eyes.
Chest Pain – Could indicate heart strain or an impending emergency.
Shortness of Breath – If the heart is struggling to pump blood effectively
Nosebleeds – Occasional, unexplained nosebleeds can be linked to high BP.
Fatigue or Confusion – Poor circulation to the brain may cause these symptoms.
Pounding Sensation in the Chest, Neck, or Ears – Especially noticeable when stressed or exerting yourself.
Severe Hypertension (Hypertensive Crisis) – Emergency Signs:
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience:
Severe headache
Severe chest pain
Difficulty breathing
Sudden vision loss
Severe anxiety or confusion
Nausea or vomiting
How to Know for Sure?
A blood pressure check is the only way to confirm high BP. Readings are measured in mmHg:
Normal: Below 120/80 mmHg
Elevated: 120-129 / <80 mmHg
Hypertension (Stage 1): 130-139 / 80-89 mmHg
Hypertension (Stage 2): 140+/90+ mmHg
Hypertensive Crisis: 180+/120+ mmHg (Seek emergency care)
