Hypertension: Which signs should not be ignored?

High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is extremely dangerous, and it can lead to very serious problems, including death due to a stroke or heart attack.

Blood pressure readings of 120-80 and 140-90 indicate a risk of developing high blood pressure. Therefore, the experts at the UK National Health Service advise to take all measures to control blood pressure.

Experts from the British Heart Foundation say that high blood pressure rarely has noticeable symptoms, although some of its signs can still be noticed.

Blurred vision, for example, is one of the most important symptoms of high blood pressure.

Some other possible symptoms include nosebleeds, shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, and headaches.

According to experts, all these symptoms should not be ignored.

But the problem is that many people with high blood pressure may feel very well and not have any noticeable symptoms.

So, to diagnose this problem, adults should have their blood pressure checked regularly, despite feeling well.
