In the United States, high blood pressure, also known as hypertension, affects approximately one out of every three adults over the age of 20. Most of these people never seek medical care for their hypertension because high blood pressure symptoms are generally absent unless pressures reach dangerously high levels, and even then they sometimes do not cause overt symptoms. If you believe you are at risk of having hypertension, it is imperative to know what some high blood pressure symptoms are so you can effectively manage and prevent them in the future.
There are two main types of hypertension: primary hypertension and secondary hypertension. It is not known for sure what causes primary hypertension and this type tends to lack any high blood pressure symptoms for many years. Secondary hypertension is caused by other conditions such as underlying health problems, medications, substance abuse, or pregnancy and high blood pressure symptoms tend to be more sudden and obvious.
High blood pressure symptoms include feeling faint or dizzy, headaches, nosebleeds, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, and difficulty seeing things. Less common high blood pressure symptoms include difficulty urinating, blood clots, chest pain or pressure, difficulty breathing, confusion, and coma. High blood pressure symptoms can be the same as found in other conditions so evaluating your overall health status can help accurately determine if you have hypertension or not.
High blood pressure symptoms are related to the way blood is pumped through the vessels by the heart and aberrations thereof. In a healthy body, there is a balance between the pressure inside the blood vessels and outside of them throughout the entire body. Anything that causes sustained changes in this balance can cause the heart to work harder to pump adequate blood to the tissues or cause fluids to leak into or out of the vessels and associated tissues. Examples of things that can alter this balance are tightening of the blood vessels due to stress or drugs; strain on the heart to pump adequate blood through the body of obese people or pregnant women; and underlying diseases such as kidney failure, atherosclerosis, Diabetes, or cancer.
Since diagnosing hypertension is rarely done based on high blood pressure symptoms alone, it is important to have your blood pressure checked every year. Taking steps to prevent and manage hypertension and the associated high blood pressure symptoms can be accomplished through healthy eating habits, adequate physical exercise, prescription and homeopathic remedies, keeping stress to a minimum and practicing daily relaxation techniques.
