A Few High Blood Pressure Symptoms In Men

By Bradd Alan


One in every three Americans suffers from high blood pressure. This adds up to about 65 million people. The risk of high blood pressure increases the moment men hit the age of 45 but it can also occur in younger men. High blood pressure also known as hypertension is the increase of blood pressure in the arteries. If not taken care of in the early stages of development, it can cause a mirage of ailments such as enlargement of the heart, aneurysms, which is a small bulge in the blood vessels, kidney damage and failure plus major damage to other main body organs. It is important to know some high blood pressure symptoms in men in order for you to know how to address the problem adequately.

One of the major signs of high blood pressure in men is constant headaches especially in cases of hypertensive crisis; this is where the blood pressure rises above 180 in the systolic state and below 110 in the diastolic state. Diastolic pressure is the lower number of your heartbeats while systolic pressure is the top number.

Research carried out within a hospital established that 17% of patients treated for hypertension experienced nosebleeds, making nosebleeds an indicator of HBP. Nosebleeds could be triggered by many other factors but, should you experience several nose bleed each week, this may be a sign that the blood pressure is actually high. The research also established that nose bleeds are extremely common in early stages of HBP.

Blood spots in the eyes are also a sign of high blood pressure in men. Blood spots in the eyes are also known as subconjuctival hemorrhage. This is a common symptom in people with high blood pressure, and if left untreated it can cause serious damage to the optic nerve.

A flushed face is another characteristic of HBP. While a flushed face may also be triggered by other factors for example sun exposure and skin care products, a flushed face triggered by hypertension happens constantly and unexpectedly. You need to seek immediate medical attention if you experience this.

Dizziness is also another high blood pressure symptom in men that should not be ignored. A sudden onset of dizziness might cause imbalance as well as a loss of coordination. Although dizziness can be caused by other factors, it is important that you consult a physician or have your blood pressure checked if you experience this.

When the arteries in the body expand to accommodate the pressure that is caused by HBP there is a decrease of oxygen supply to the heart. This can cause shortness of breath as well as difficulties in breathing. This is a major symptom of hypertension and should be taken seriously. Medical assistance should be sought immediately.

One of the common telltale indications of hypertension in men is blood in urine. This is particularly so for suffering high blood pressure for a long time. Urine in the bloodstream happens once the blood pressure reaches alarming levels that damage organs.
