High blood pressure, or hypertension, is one of the most common health problems that many people face. While most people who suffer from high blood pressure have no symptoms, even if their readings reach extremely high levels, some may experience certain symptoms, such as nausea, dizziness, shortness of breath, blurred vision, headaches, and nose.
Uncontrolled high blood pressure can significantly increase the risk of developing several serious health conditions, such as kidney damage, vision loss, memory loss, atherosclerosis, heart disease, heart attacks, etc.
