Different Symptoms Of High Blood Pressure In Women

By Jamal D White


Hypertension, commonly referred to as high blood pressure is a very dangerous ailment. This is mainly because a third of the people suffering from the condition do not know that they have it until it is too late and the condition has already caused substantial damage to the heart, kidneys, blood vessels and other parts of the body. High blood pressure occurs when the force of the blood pushing inside the arteries rises and stays high for long time. The only way to know if you have high blood pressure is by constant and regular checkups because high blood pressure has no real or noticeable symptoms when it is in the development stages. If you have a close relative suffering from high blood pressure, it is especially important that you get regular checkups. That said, below are a few symptoms of high blood pressure in women that you can use to recognize if you are prone to the ailment.

Severe and constant headaches are a strong indication of a rising blood pressure. Headaches are associated with many other ailments although a high blood pressure headache is throbbing and very severe. If you are constantly getting severe headaches, it could be an indication that your blood pressure is rising and you should seek medical attention promptly.

Feeling overly tired and confused is also another symptom of high blood pressure in women. Fatigue comes from the heart overworking itself to pump blood into your vessels, which might lead to confusion. A number of other ailments might also cause fatigue. However, if you feel constantly fatigued and confused, it is a strong indication that you are developing HBP.

Vision problems are also another early symptom of high blood pressure in women. If you are sure that your vision problem is not as a result of any other ailment, it could be an indicator that your blood pressure levels are at an all time high. You should always make sure that you get HBP checkups regularly.

Another early warning sign of high blood pressure in women is a consistent pounding in the chest, behind the ears and on the neck. This is because as the blood pressure rises, the veins/arteries in these areas expand to accommodate the pressure. This in turn can make your heart and chest pound harder and faster.

Blood in the urine is also a symptom of hypertension. This mainly occurs when the ailment has gone unnoticed for long and has already caused damages to the organs in the body. It is important to seek medical attention immediately.

Heartbeats are supposed to be regular at around 72 heartbeats per minute. High blood pressure causes the heart beats to be irregular, i.e. above the normal rate of 72 and sometimes even below. This is one of the symptoms of HBP.

Pain in the chest and difficulty in breathing are also symptoms of an increase in blood pressure. Chest pains occur when the heart rate increases and difficult breathing is because of oxygen starvation in the heart. It is important to seek immediate medical attention when this happens.
