Severe headache

Often taken lightly, headaches can be the first sign of high blood pressure. Too severe a headache can lead to migraine and cause a throbbing sensation on one side of the head, which can be a sign of high blood pressure.

Feeling lightheaded or dizzy

People suffering from high blood pressure may have a pounding feeling in their neck, chest and ears, which can give rise to the feeling of dizziness and lightheadedness.



Blood in the urine

Hematuria (blood in urine) is common in people with hypertension. A small amount of blood in the urine is called hematuria.

Nosebleed

The nose has delicate blood vessels and a sudden increase in blood pressure can lead to nosebleeds. Thus, hypertension is associated with bleeding of the nose.

Shortness of breath

People suffering from hypertension may experience irregular breathing and aching sensation in their chest that can make them feel uncomfortable. Shortness of breath is one of the initial signs of high blood pressure.

Vision problems

Hypertension can lead to hypertensive retinopathy in which a person can experience vision problems like blurred vision, loss of vision or visual impairment.

Facial flushing

Having blood spots in the eyes and facial flushing can occur when the blood vessels in the face dilate, which can be an indication of hypertension.

Fatigue

High blood pressure can make you feel tired as it consumes energy. It can make you feel anxious, dizzy and disrupt your sleep, which can make a person feel more fatigued.
