High blood pressure, often called the 'silent killer,' rarely shows obvious symptoms. That's why regular checkups are crucial! But what should you be aware of?
While many people experience no symptoms, some potential signs include: severe headaches, nosebleeds, fatigue or confusion, vision problems, chest pain, difficulty breathing, irregular heartbeat, and blood in the urine.
However, these symptoms aren't specific to high blood pressure and often only appear when blood pressure has reached dangerously high levels. The best way to know for sure is to have your blood pressure measured by a healthcare professional. Don't wait for symptoms; proactive monitoring is key to managing your health. Lifestyle changes like diet and exercise can make a big difference!
