- Hypertension often arises without any symptoms at all, which has led doctors to dub it "the silent killer." High blood pressure can be detected with a blood pressure screening as part of an annual physical. Many drugstores also have blood pressure monitoring machines where you can check your blood pressure for free.
- High blood pressure sometimes announces itself through severe headaches that have no other apparent cause.
- Though a common symptom for many conditions, nausea may be a signal of abnormally high blood pressure.
- Blurred eyesight sometimes arises in cases of dangerously high blood pressure.
- Patients with high blood pressure may experience shortness of breath, and tire easily when conducting normal day-to-day activities.
