High blood pressure usually causes no symptoms.
The symptoms are usually mild and nonspecific, for that reason, high blood pressure is often called "the silent killer."
People who have high blood pressure typically don't know it until their blood pressure is measured in a routine check up or in other circumstances.
Sometimes high blood pressure patients have the following symptoms:
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Blurred vision
The symptoms are so vague and non-specific, that's one of the problems with high blood pressure.
In the past it was considered to be a normal part of aging, and doctors considered that elevated blood pressure was natural.
Now researchers recognize that elevated blood pressure causes kidney damage, elevated risk for stroke and heart attack leading to heart damage.
