What are symptoms of high blood pressure?

You may not experience any symptoms of high blood pressure.  This condition can be sneaky and quiet, harming your body while you don’t recognize it.  But testing for blood pressure is easy and quick.  A person’s blood pressure can be checked easily by a manual or battery powered blood pressure cuff machine.  If your family members deal with high blood pressure issues, you may have inherited this tendency; you should have your blood pressure checked periodically to make sure your blood pressure is normal. 

If a person’s blood pressure is extremely high, he may feel symptoms such as severe headache, fatigue, vision problems, pounding pressure in chest, neck or ears, confusion, chest pain, being short of breath, irregular heartbeat or passing blood in urine.  Anyone experiencing these symptoms (of stroke and/or heart attack) needs to get medical care immediately by calling 911. http://www.webmd.com/hypertension-high-blood-pressure/guide/hypertension-symptoms-high-blood-pressure
