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