Symptoms of High Blood Pressure
Most people with high blood pressure do not have signs or symptoms. However, some people with extremely high blood pressure may experience the following symptoms:
- Severe headaches
- Shortness of breath
- Nosebleeds
- Fatigue or confusion
- Vision problems
- Difficulty breathing
- Chest pain
High blood pressure, or hypertension, occurs when the force of the blood against the artery walls is consistently too high. Although it is normal for blood pressure to fluctuate throughout the day due to various activities, consistently elevated readings may lead to a diagnosis of high blood pressure. The Advanced Heart and Vein Center offers specialized care for those dealing with this condition.

Blood pressure measures the force of blood against your artery walls. It is considered high if it measures 140/90 mmHg or higher on two separate occasions.
Understanding High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a widespread health issue that often presents no symptoms but significantly increases the risk of serious health complications.
Who Does High Blood Pressure Affect?
Hypertension is a common condition that affects people of all ages, genders, and fitness levels. It can impact individuals who are otherwise healthy as well as those with other health conditions.
How Does the Body Control Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure regulation involves the heart, blood vessels, and kidneys. In some individuals, the nerves connected to the kidneys become overly active, disrupting the natural control mechanisms and leading to elevated blood pressure levels.
