The Various Symptoms Of High Blood Pressure

By Alex D White


High blood pressure is the elevation of the blood pressure to high levels usually more than 140/90mm Hg. High blood pressure does not have major physical symptoms, and that is why it is sometimes referred to as silent killer. You must seek medical attention for examination to know if you are suffering from this medical condition or not. However, here are a combination of symptoms of high blood pressure that you should concentrate on if you suspect to have high blood pressure.

Occasional heart attack is one of the major symptoms of high blood pressure. For instance, if you were walking down the street and all over sudden you feel like collapsing, this could be an indication that you may be suffering from this medical condition. What usually happens is that, your heart experiences some creep failures that tend to make it stop functioning. Creep failures may be triggered by nerve damage and stress.

A dizzy feeling is another indication of having high blood pressure. This dizzy feeling is usually caused by having the blood pressure in your body hitting high levels. The combined effects, affect the circulatory system by making the heart to pump a lot of blood into the vein and heart getting the brain overworked hence causing the dizzy feeling.

Experiencing some visual impairment may be an indication of having high blood pressure. High blood pressure patients usually complain about visual impairment problems. What usually happens is that, the blood pressure causes tension on the veins, which in turn strains the eyesight nerves causing one to have blurred vision.

High blood pressure usually comes with Nausea. This feeling does not usually go easily and you can experience the feeling for quite a long time. Feeling nauseated is the response of your body to having a feeling of dizziness.

A chest pain that tends to make you have a squeezing feeling in your chest may be an indication of having high blood pressure. Alongside this, one will experience some breathing problems. This forms the primary reason as to why high blood pressure patients do not usually engage in strenuous activities because of the chest pain and breathing shortage.

Having a stroke is another symptom of high blood pressure. A stroke will occur to a person when the blood circulation to the brain is disrupted causing the whole body to stop functioning. High blood pressure is closely associated with stroke since it is concerned with the rate of flow of blood in the brain. Stroke therefore, turns out to be the biggest fear for most high blood pressure victims.

High blood pressure is associated with most of the short-term symptoms but other symptoms do occur in the long run. In the long run, high blood pressure patients will start to experience organ failures such as claudicating, which is the disability to walk due to creeping of the legs and out pouching of the aorta (Aneurysms). Other organ failures include kidney failure.
