What Are the Symptoms of High Blood Pressure in Women?
Mild hypertension often does not cause any noticeable symptoms, while severe hypertension can lead to various signs and symptoms, including:
- Severe headache.
- Nausea or vomiting.
- Vision changes, such as blurred vision or spots before the eyes.
- Difficulty breathing.
- Chest pain.
- Seizures.
Hypertension is often called the "silent killer" because there may be no signs or symptoms for many years, even when blood pressure readings are dangerously high. This is why it's important to have your blood pressure checked regularly, especially if you have risk factors for hypertension such as, obesity, family history of hypertension, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, or physical inactivity.
**It's recommended that adults have their blood pressure checked at least once every 2 years, and more often if they have risk factors for high blood pressure.
Early detection and management of hypertension can help prevent serious health problems, such as heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and eye damage.**
