Palpitations
This is a condition in which you feel that your heart is racing, skipping a beat, or beating irregularly. The heart beats rapidly to push blood into the blood vessels and maintain blood supply to the whole body.

Blurred vision
Prolonged high blood pressure causes damage to blood vessels in the eye area, reducing vision. There may even be complete loss of vision.
Severe headache
High blood pressure increases the pressure inside the skull, causing unpleasant headaches.
Face red
People with high blood pressure feel red in the face because the blood vessels on the face dilate. Blushing can also be a reaction to stress, exposure to heat, exercise, etc. These factors can all temporarily increase blood pressure.
Dizzy
Sudden dizziness, loss of balance, and difficulty walking can be warning signs of a stroke. High blood pressure is the leading risk factor for stroke.
Shortness of breath
This condition occurs due to the influence of the arteries that carry blood to the lungs. Patients often feel short of breath when exerting themselves, exercising or climbing stairs.
In addition, people with hypertension may also experience some other symptoms such as tinnitus, chest pain, nausea, insomnia, fatigue, and more rarely, nosebleeds.
Symptoms of high blood pressure are often unclear, so if any of the above symptoms appear, you need to measure your blood pressure to detect the disease early and get timely treatment.
