High blood pressure or hypertension is the elevated pressure of the flow of blood in the blood stream.

This disease can be fatal if an individual does not take proper care. There are several early signs of high blood pressure that are actually not noticeable enough to be attributed to hypertension. These early symptoms of high blood pressure are quite common ailments that can be caused by any number of things which may not even be connected to elevated blood pressure

Genetic Predisposition To Hypertension

A person’s genes are probably one of the early signs of high blood pressure that is certainly early enough. If you have high blood pressure in your family then it is early signal that you mat develop high blood pressure. Follow preventive measures to avoid the risk of hypertension if many of your family members have had blood pressure problems. Obesity is another factor that can contribute to high blood pressure in a person who is already experiencing weight problems.

Other Early Indicators Of High Blood Pressure

Other not so definitive symptoms of high blood pressure in men and women are nausea or dizziness when exerting effort, hyperventilation and shortness of breath when exerting effort and heart palpitations. All these early signs of hypertension will not be so noticeable if the person does rarely exerts himself. Another early sign of potential blood pressure problems is a feeling of heaviness in the nape of the neck when tense of anxious. This feeling does not often occur in people who may have hypertension but it can be a definitive sign of high blood pressure for those with a family history.

Apart from the heavy feeling in the nape, all other early symptoms of high blood pressure are quite random and may not be initially associated with elevated blood pressure when one is not looking for it. Even the heavy feeling in the nape can be attributed to other things which will not point to a hypertension problem.

If any of your ancestors had a history of high blood pressure then you should check your blood pressure levels regularly. The early signs of elevated blood pressure are virtually not physically noticeable compared to having the blood pressure taken.

Natural Treatment Should Be Your Eventual Goal

Usually people ignore this problem. Even those who take medicine usually only take anti-hypertensive medication for short time.

What Is Normal Blood Pressure?

There are two readings for testing a person’s blood pressure. The numbers measure the pressure against the artery walls when the heart is pumping blood and then when it is between pumps. The higher number is called the systolic pressure and the resting pressure is called diastolic. Normal blood pressure is 120/80. If this reading goes above 140/90, then you consider yourself as a hypertensive patient. Between 120 and 140 is a pre hypertensive stage. which can be controlled even by natural measures like exercise, low salt intake, stopping smoking, lower cholesterol, eating more natural foods like fruits, vegetables, and nuts.

The Silent Killer

How will you come to know that you have high blood pressure?
Hypertension typically has no symptoms at all, that is why we can call it as Silent Killer. Although there are many coincidental symptoms that are widely believed to be associated with this condition. These include headaches, nosebleeds, dizziness, a flushed face and fatigue. Although people with elevated blood pressure may have many of these symptoms, they occur just as frequently in those with normal blood pressure. Why do these symptoms occur? If a person has elevated blood pressure that is severe or longstanding and left untreated, symptoms such as headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath, restlessness, and blurred vision can occur as a result of damage to the brain, eyes, heart and kidneys. In rare cases, high blood pressure may cause brain swelling, which can lead to drowsiness and coma.
