Identifying a High Blood Pressure Symptom
You might be surprised to know that it's hard to identify a
high blood
pressure symptom. When we refer to high blood pressure
symptoms, we are actually talking about high blood pressure
that has progressed to the point that it has caused other
symptoms and reactions in the body. There are a number of
possible causes of
high blood pressure that are covered elsewhere on this
website.
Often high blood pressure exists with no
visible or recognizable signs or symptoms. This is why it is
called the “silent killer.”
A high blood pressure symptom might be any one
or more of the following
nausea,
dizziness,
headache and blurred vision.
Because many a high blood pressure symptom can
also be caused by many other things, most people will not go to
the doctor for it or will not connect it to high blood
pressure.

Prolonged blood pressure can begin to cause
organ damage. Some signs that this has occurred are:
• Heart attack
• Heart failure
• Loss of vision
• Eye damage
• Stroke
• Aneurisms
• Peripheral arterial disease
If you have any of these symptoms, or believe
you may have some other sign of high blood pressure, it's
important to consult your doctor. He or she can help you decide
on a course of action to lower your blood pressure and relieve
your symptoms.
How to know when you have a high blood pressure symptom
Remember that high blood pressure has no signs
or symptoms and if you want to be sure if you have it or not,
the only way is to have your blood pressure checked. This can
be done with a standard blood pressure cuff by your regular
doctor or nurse.
Many local pharmacies such as Wal-Mart and
Walgreens also have blood pressure testing centers set up where
people can stop by and check their own blood
pressure. There are also inexpensive home blood pressure
monitors available. If you find out your blood pressure is
higher than normal, make an appointment with your doctor
immediately.
Keeping
blood pressure in the normal range should be
everyone's goal. It's important for maintaining good
health.
