What are the symptoms of hypertension?

Symptoms of hypertension (high blood pressure) can vary depending on the severity of the condition.

In many cases, people with high blood pressure don't experience any symptoms, especially in the early stages. This is why it's important to have your blood pressure checked regularly, even if you feel fine. However, some people with high blood pressure may experience symptoms such as:

- Severe headaches, especially in the morning

- Nosebleeds

- Shortness of breath

- Chest pain

- Feeling light-headed or dizzy

- Visual disturbances such as blurred vision or seeing spots

- Buzzing or humming sounds in the ears (tinnitus)

- Weakness or numbness in the limbs

- Difficulty concentrating and memory loss

- Sleep problems
