Research Notes on High Blood Pressure Symptoms
There are no symptoms of high blood pressure, and it is possible to have the condition without even knowing it. Occasionally, headaches may occur due to high blood pressure, though this seldom occurs. Because there are no high blood pressure symptoms, it is important for health care professionals to routinely monitor patients' blood pressure.1
Fast Facts:
- High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is a condition that occurs when a person's blood pressure is elevated.2
- High blood pressure can lead to a stroke, heart attack, heart failure, arterial aneurysm, and chronic renal failure.2
- There are two types of high blood pressure: primary and secondary.2
