Hypertension – Under the Surface

Under-the-surface

When it comes to blood pressure, don’t rely on symptoms alone to signify a problem. Though once thought to be indications of high blood pressure, headaches, nosebleeds and blood spots in the eyes may only be indirectly related to hypertension, not necessarily caused by it. Therefore, they are not considered to be conclusive warning signs. In fact, many people with diagnosed high blood pressure never experience any symptoms at all. Though largely symptomless, hypertension should be carefully managed in order to prevent heart disease, stroke, kidney damage and other serious complications that can arise as a result.

So, what’s your best bet? Ditch the myths and don’t let this cardiovascular condition creep up on you. Have your blood pressure checked regularly by a health care professional who can provide proper diagnosis after obtaining accurate measurements. Sphygmomanometers, or blood pressure monitors, are standard at visits to healthcare centers, clinics, hospitals and onsite health screenings and provide quick, simple and painless testing.
