3 Major Symptoms of High Blood Pressure
Many people have high blood pressure and are not aware of it, for this reason it is important to know common symptoms and risk factors. Regardless of whether you show symptoms or not, it is wise to have your blood pressure checked on a regular basis. Many people neglect this simple check until they have a serious problem on their hands. If you have hypertension these are some possible symptoms you may experience.
Unfortunately experts can't agree what high blood pressure is. Numbers that represent systolic pressure and diastolic pressure are measured to come up with blood pressure. There is often disagreement about numbers that are lower than 140/90, it is commonly believed that anything over that is hypertension. Until recently 130/85 blood pressure reading would be considered normal. Now a reading of 120/80 or below is normal and many experts would call the previous reading as prehypertension. Be sure, however, that if your blood pressure readings go over 120/80 you should monitor your diet and exercise habits with the help of your doctor.
