Symptoms and Diagnosis for Hypertension

Mostly, people who have hypertension have no symptoms. This is why hypertension is also called the "silent killer". The complications of untreated hypertension can have serious consequences and could result in death.

In rare cases, some people may experience mild pain in the back of the head when he awoke in the morning during the early stages of hypertension. Headaches, dizziness and nosebleeds can sometimes be reported if blood pressure is very high, but these symptoms are very rare.

When measuring blood pressure, it is recommended to take two or more readings separated by two minutes and then average the results. If an increase in blood pressure is discovered during a checkup, your doctor will usually return the monitor to see in a few months before prescribing medication. It is very important that these appointments followed.
