Q: why I feel high blood pressure symptoms only now?
Im 26 years old and i started taking amlor 10mg for hypertension since I feel high blood pressure symptoms (started one month before). Before that i have had blood pressure but without feeling any symptoms. Now I wonder why I have high blood pressure symptoms only now but not before while I get the same blood pressure reading? means my blood pressure reading now is not more than before and with medicine its lower but still i feel its symptoms.
A: There are no “symptoms” of so-called high blood pressure and whoever started you on pills for it was mistaken, wrong, and quite literally, ignorant.
You shouldn’t be taking them, and it’s quite probable that the “symptoms” you describe are CAUSED BY the pills, -side effects. All medications have side effects.
Quite likely your doctor will now prescribe you more pills to counter the side effects… and so it goes on, and gets worse. Until you find someone who tells you the truth.
The truth is: (1) you haven’t got so-called ‘hypertension’.
(2) you shouldn’t be taking pills for it.
(3) If you stop taking the pills you’ll be fine, feel better and more importantly be healthier and live longer.
……………………(4) Only CHANGES in your BP readings matter. The readings themselves are meaningless. So if your readings are unchanged, you’re perfectly OK.
Q: High blood pressure with symptoms of low blood pressure?
I have slightly high blood pressure (usually around 140/80) and I have symptoms of low blood pressure (feeling dizzy when I stand up or when I’m hungry). Does anyone know what my problem could be?
A: I think you should familiarize yourself more with the common (and less common) symptoms of high blood pressure. For example, dizziness can also be associated with high blood pressure.

Hope you feel better soon!
Q: What are the symptoms of high blood pressure and what can be done for it until you see a doctor?
My daughter feet have started to swell, the first thing that came to mind is high blood pressure. She also is over weight. I have made her an appointment but the earliest she can be seen is 3 weeks at the doctors. Would anyone know the symptoms to look for and what can be done for it until she gets to see the doctor. She is 19 years old and is a smoker.
A: Hypertension
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_blood_pressure
Signs and symptoms:
Mild to moderate essential hypertension is usually asymptomatic.[15][16][17][18][19] Accelerated hypertension is associated with headache, somnolence, confusion, visual disturbances, and nausea and vomiting (hypertensive encephalopathy). Retinas are affected with narrowing of arterial diameter to less than 50% of venous diameter, copper or silver wire appearance, exudates, hemorrhages, or papilledema.[20] Some signs and symptoms are especially important in infants and neonates such as failure to thrive, seizure, irritability or lethargy, and respiratory distress.[21] While in children hypertension may cause headache, fatigue, blurred vision, epistaxis, and bell palsy.[21]
Some signs and symptoms are especially important in suggesting a secondary medical cause of chronic hypertension, such as centripetal obesity, “buffalo hump,” and/or wide purple abdominal striae and maybe a recent onset of diabetes suggest glucocorticoid excess either due to Cushing’s syndrome or other causes. Hypertension due to other secondary endocrine diseases such as hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, or growth hormone excess show symptoms specific to these disease such as in hyperthyrodism there may be weight loss, tremor, tachycardia or atrial arrhythmia, palmar erythema and sweating.[22] Signs and symptoms associated with growth hormone excess such as coarsening of facial features, prognathism, macroglossia,[23] hypertrichosis, hyperpigmentation, and hyperhidrosis may occur in these patients.[24]:499. Other endocrine causes such as hyperaldosteronism may cause less specific symptoms such as numbness, polyuria, polydipsia, hypernatraemia, and metabolic alkalosis.[25] A systolic bruit heard over the abdomen or in the flanks suggests renal artery stenosis. Also radio femoral delay or diminished pulses in lower versus upper extremities suggests coarctation of the aorta. Hypertension in patients with pheochromocytomas is usually sustained but may be episodic. The typical attack lasts from minutes to hours and is associated with headache, anxiety, palpitation, profuse perspiration, pallor, tremor, and nausea and vomiting. Blood pressure is markedly elevated, and angina or acute pulmonary edema may occur. In primary aldosteronism, patients may have muscular weakness, polyuria, and nocturia due to hypokalemia. Chronic hypertension often leads to left ventricular hypertrophy, which can present with exertional and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea. Cerebral involvement causes stroke due to thrombosis or hemorrhage from microaneurysms of small penetrating intracranial arteries. Hypertensive encephalopathy is probably caused by acute capillary congestion and exudation with cerebral edema, which is reversible.[20]
Signs and symptoms associated with pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, can be proteinuria, edema, and hallmark of eclampsia which is convulsions, Other cerebral signs may precede the convulsion such as nausea, vomiting, headaches, and blindness.[26]
Q: Do my symptoms indicate high blood pressure?
I have had fatigue, constant neck pain and headaches, blurred vision, and overall have just felt so horrible almost every day that I can barely get through the day. I have had fleeting chest pains the past couple of days. The other symptoms have been going on for several months. I did an internet search and the only thing that seemed to match is high blood pressure. I haven’t had it checked lately because I don’t have insurance and have not been to the doctor. I also have type 1 diabetes. (I am 26)
A: Most of the time high blood pressure doesn’t have any symptoms. In Australia, many pharmacies have blood pressure machines you can use for free, but I don’t know about other countries. Most of the time, high blood pressure on its own isn’t a problem most people in their 20’s have, though diabetics are at more of a risk.
I definitely wouldn’t rule out high blood pressure, but those symptoms are general enough to be from other things. They might not even be connected.
Have you had your eyes checked recently? Blurred vision and headaches (which could also spread to the neck) can be caused from eye problems, or simply staring at a computer too long.
Maybe a virus, even? That could cause long lasting fatigue…
And there is a posibility of chest pains being caused by heartburn.
I really think it is best to see a doctor though, because …
a) I doubt it is going to fix itself any time soon if its been going on for a couple of months
b) chest pains should always be checked out, in case you have heart probs
c) we can’t diagnose anything over a computer, let alone prescribe any meds
d) it seems to be getting worse. (you are getting more symptoms)
Q: Help with studies about symptoms of high blood pressure, anyone?
I have to write a paper about the correlation of the percents regarding the symptoms of high blood pressure, and the associated diagnostics between my clinic (Romania) and other (around the world). what I really need are some studies (links, books, articles) on this theme for country’s around the world. Thank you in avance!
A: look up drugs.com could help you with your studies .
Q: High blood pressure one of the symptoms of PMS?
Is high blood pressure a symptom of PMS? I just checked mine and it was 131/98. Is this BAD????
A: High blood pressure is not typically a symptom of PMS. Your diastolic BP i.e. the lower number is kinda high. Were you anxious or something when you checked it? Try this, sit quietly for about 15 minutes and relax yourself, then check your BP. And one reading doesnt mean anything unless it is high again when checked on another day.
Q: high blood pressure symptoms?
is lightheaded and visual changes (static vision which makes lightheaded worse) high blood pressure symptoms?im lightheaded all day and nite,sometimes worse days than others,been told blood pressure is slightly high but not major
A: Symptoms of High Blood Pressure
Hypertension is often called the silent killer as there are often no preceding signs or symptoms. It may go unchecked for many years, or even decades. Most of the time it is an incidental finding during routine check ups. Some of the symptoms to watch out for:
Headache
Dizziness
Shortness of breath
Blurred vision
Drowsiness
Irregular heart beat.
The only way of knowing that you have high blood pressure is to have it measured by your doctor, nurse or pharmacist, and monitored on a regular basis. How often depends on your general health and whether you have other health conditions, and on the use of medicines for blood pressure control.
While high blood pressure itself doesn’t usually present any symptoms, it is a major risk factor for developing a serious cardiovascular disease (conditions that can affect the circulation of blood around the body), such as a stroke, or heart disease. If you are in the high risk category you should have you blood pressure checked by a medical professional.
Q: Is there symptoms for high blood pressure?
I have been told i has high blood pressure but is there symptoms ? I have been having headaches and tiredness and chest tightening is this from that ? or not
A: Some people even shake, feel like their insides are rotting, feel heavy, headaches, chest tightness for sure.
But its not symptoms, your symptom is high blood pressure, those things are called SIGNS.
Before they put you on medication try some natural things. Eat healthy for several weeks see how that goes, see a cardiologist, do a stress test etc… see what happens there. Look up raw food diet, if it makes a difference then stick to it, drink more water etc..
Lower sodium intake to about 1000mg a day.
Q: Low/High Blood Pressure symptoms..?
I’d like to know what are the symptoms to High Blood Pressure and Low Blood Pressure.
A: One of the symptoms of high blood pressure is dizziness. One of the symptoms for low blood pressure is that of being very cold.
I would also recommend checking with your doctor to see what they say.
For even more information I have the link to a site that may help til you can get a hold of the doctor. It’s at: http://www.WebMD.com
Q: Very high blood pressure without any symptoms?
An acquaintance of mine just had a routine medical check up done and his blood pressure came out to be as high as 210/130. Which is not so good.
He’s been put on medications; but what struck me is how despite such a dangerously high blood pressure he didn’t experience any symptoms whatsoever. No headache, nausea or dizziness at all.
Does this indicate something more serious?
A: No one can get used to having high blood pressure. It wreaked havoc on his body. It could be that the blood pressure (B/P) slowly rose and gave the arteries time to swell with it, and/or the symptoms were so minor that he didn’t notice anything but a little headache here and there.
There are so many initial indicators that your friend is having complications from high B/P: kidney failure (acute or chronic), blindness, stroke (CVA), heart attack (MI). Do any of these sound good? Are there any that you’d choose over the other? If your friend didn’t get this taken care of, it’s not that something might have happened, but something WOULD HAVE happened.
The arteries that are expanding are stretching. There IS GOING TO BE a weak point in the arterial wall somewhere in the body, and this will cause an aneurysm. It could sit there for a while, but one day it would pop (if something else doesn’t happen first) and the result will be location based. That’s where the CVA comes in. Hemorrhagic CVA’s are bad news.
A vast majority of the people are on hemodialysis because they didn’t manage their B/P. I thought I would never have seen it, but I had a 19 year old patient that had been on hemodialysis for 6 years because of her hypertension (HTN). It was drug induced, and didn’t take long, but HTN is HTN. The “filters” in the kidneys are ravaged. They can only go so long like this, and the damage can be permanent.
Your friend needs to stay on the medication, monitor his B/P, and make and keep follow-up appointments. I’d wager that he also needs to stop smoking, drinking, and lose weight. The internet has a huge amount of information on diet and restrictions, particularly salt.
Q: What are the symptoms of High blood pressure?
I’ve been having headaches the last few days and tylenol isnt helping. I also have been getting light headed and dizzy which is not normal. I have been feeling tired when I’ve done little or nothing and dont really feel like doing anything either. Someone also commented that I was very red faced. I am 32 and I otherwise good health. Does this sound like high blood pressure or something else?
Ok, I will go to the doctor. Probably just needed someone to kick me in the butt and tell me.
A: Actually high blood pressure doesn’t have any symptoms, that is why it is called the “silent killer”. You just don’t know you have it unless you are checked.
Headaches can be a symptom of many issues. So especially a headache you have had for a few days, which an over the counter remedy has not helped I would definitely recommend seeing your physician.
If you are “otherwise in good health” you probably have a good idea when something isn’t right with your body. You probably don’t go to the doctor for fun or anything so, listen to your body when it says “it’s time to go”.
Q: Can there be symptoms for high blood pressure?
I don’t know why but I was feeling kinda nauseous today, and have had a horrible headache. My blood pressure wasn’t too high when i checked it earlier in the wk, but bc i have problems with it I thought I would check it and it was 180/110. I was just wondering if that can give you a headache and make you feel physically sick or not?
A: yes it can, see http://www.emedicinehealth.com/high_blood_pressure/page3_em.htm#High Blood Pressure Symptoms
Q: High blood pressure symptoms or not?
Why is this happening to me? I work at a restaurant to support myself while im going to college. Rececently like 3 or 4 days ago I noticed that everytime i lift a heavy object or bend down (which i have to do a lot!!) my head feels like it’s going to explode and I can feel the pulse on my forehead and my whole head starts to hurt….if i bend down too many times in a day the headache stays for thw hole day or even more… also something more strange is that I’ve noticed that I see less sharp the things that are far away…i use glasses and all but I ‘ve noticed a slight change in my eyesight anfd I went to the doc a few weeks ago…supposedly everything normal! but why is this happening??? i also get dizzy….help??
oh anfd both of my parents have high blood prrssure..my grandparents too….is it hereditary?
A: Have you checked your blood pressure? Do you monitor it? You can get monitoring devices which are inexpensive and can be found at any drug store. Since your parents and grandparents have high blood pressure, it would be a very good idea for you to start monitoring yours.
High blood pressure, or hypertension can be hereditary.
However, the symptoms you have experienced does NOT necessarily mean that you have high blood pressure.
For example, for some people, changing positions quickly can cause something called “positional hypotension or orthostatic hypotension”… meaning your blood pressure can drop suddenly if you move from a sitting to a standing position. This results in feeling light headed, dizzy and even for things to go “black” for a second or two while your body adjusts.
As far as your vision… does the blurriness come and go? or is it all the time? If its all the time, you may just need corrective lenses. If it fluctuates, then go see your primary MD. There could be several reasons why this happens, blood pressure is just ONE of them. Fluctuating blood sugars can cause this (blood sugar too high OR too low), as well as sinus problems. I have chronic sinus problems and my vision fluctuates depending on how bad my sinus congestion is at the time – and my blood pressure actually normally runs a little low.
The severe headaches concern me. The family history of HTN and the headaches are all the more reason to start monitoring your blood pressure. Have you been evaluated for migraines?
Q: What symptoms do you get if you have High Blood Pressure?
How would i know if i have high blood pressure? What would the symptoms be, is there any way of finding out myself without going to the doctors?
A: Usually there are no symptoms until it becomes critically high. Then you would feel dizzy, blurred vision, headache. This usually occurs after years of untreated high blood pressure. You can go to many pharmacy’s and they usually have a machine or you could buy your own automatic cuff. If it is consistently 130 or higher you definately need to see a doctor.
Q: what is the symptoms of high blood pressure?
i went to the doctors last thursday and i had really bad Stomach acid, and i keep on getting bad head ace, and the doc told me i have got high blood pressure, my mum has this and my dad would i get it or is this a false of Alarm.
A: Symptoms of high blood pressure
High blood pressure does not usually cause any obvious symptoms. As a result, it is known as the ‘silent killer’.
The only way to find out whether you have high blood pressure is to have your blood pressure checked regularly.
Symptoms can occur in rare cases where a person has a very high blood pressure level. The symptoms may include:
•a headache
•blurred or double vision
•nosebleeds
•shortness of breath
Visit your GP as soon as possible if you have any of these symptoms.
Regular blood pressure checks
If you are diagnosed with high blood pressure, it is very important to have your blood pressure checked on a regular basis.
Adults who are over 40 and have not been diagnosed with high blood pressure should have their blood pressure checked at least once every five years. However, your blood pressure should ideally be checked more frequently, particularly if you have any contributory risk factors.
Once high blood pressure has been diagnosed, your blood pressure will need to be closely monitored until it is brought under control. After your blood pressure has been controlled, your GP or practice nurse will measure your blood pressure every few months.
Blood pressure checks are usually available on request at most GP surgeries and health clinics. Many also have a policy of arranging regular checks for you. Children usually have their blood pressure routinely tested as part of their regular programme of health checks.
Pregnancy
If you are pregnant, you should have your blood pressure checked on a regular basis, even if it is not high.
Watching your blood pressure while you are pregnant reduces your risk of developing pregnancy-induced hypertension, which can lead to a serious condition called pre-eclampsia where there is a problem with the placenta (the organ that links the baby’s blood supply to the mother’s).
See the Health A-Z topic about Pre-eclampsia – introduction for more information about the condition
