Silent signs of high blood pressure you shouldn’t ignore, according to cardiologists
Key Points:
- High blood pressure, often called the "silent killer," usually shows no obvious symptoms until serious damage occurs, making awareness of subtle signs crucial for early detection and prevention.
- Experts highlight symptoms such as frequent early morning headaches, unexplained fatigue, mild breathlessness during daily activities, dizziness, blurred vision, and occasional nosebleeds as potential warning signs of hypertension.
- High blood pressure can cause heart strain leading to symptoms like swelling of feet, palpitations, reduced exercise tolerance, and vision problems due to damage in small blood vessels, emphasizing the need for regular monitoring.
- Cardiologists recommend routine blood pressure checks especially for individuals over 30, those with diabetes, obesity, kidney disease, or a family history of hypertension, along
