simptoms for high blood presure???

Question

how do i get to know when i'm in high blood pressure?

Answer 1

Go to a pharmacy, they have free blood pressure measurement equipment you can use. Then, get yourself a little handheld device you can use yourself.
Blood pressure is one of the heart functions that do not have early indicators you can feel. If you are getting red-faced when you climb a flight of stairs, you certainly have a problem. If you are worried, go to a physician and have your pressure checked and treated.

Answer 2

There are rarely symptoms of it which is why millions of ppl walk around not knowing they have a problem until an emergency room visit. The only way to know whether you have a problem is to buy your own blood pressure monitor and take regular readings every day at the same time of day for 2-3 weeks. That will indicate whether the pressure is consistently high or just a spike caused by stress or other factors.
Monitors can be purchased at most any drug store for 40-60 dollars and it pays to get a good one. Mine takes the pressure at the wrist which some will say is not as accurate as an upper arm unit, but again, I'm only trying to establish whether there is a consistency of similar readings. If the readings are consistently >130/80 on either the top or bottom number, it's time to see a Dr.

Answer 3

Blood pressure is the result of two forces: the force created as blood flow through your arteries( blood vessels that have a pulse) and the force created as your arteries resist the flow. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury ( mm Hg), is composed of two figures( numbers): The systolic( the top number) and the diastolic ( the bottom number). The systolic number represents the pressure while your heart is contracting ( squeeze and pumping motion). The diastolic pressure represents the pressure while your heart is relaxing. High blood pressure or hypertension is defined as a top number greater than or equal to 140 mm Hg or a diastolic ( bottom number) greater or equal to 90 mm Hg. Yeah, technical but, I'm trying to put the base knowledge into your question. Blood pressure that stays between 120-139/80-89 is considered pre-hypertension. High blood pressure, known as the " silent killer", afflicts nearly one of every three adults in the U.S.. Nearly one - third of those afflicted don't even know that they have high blood pressure. Prior to taking on any exercise program, consult with your Doc. An essential key to a healthy lifestyle is regular physical activity that just requires a brisk walk to start your day or a run through the neighborhood. Eat a heathly low-fat diet, fruit, vegtables, and low sodium (salt) will keep your blood pressure at a heart healthy level. As far as symptoms, they can vary from person to person. Some people will experience sudden nose bleeds, headaches but, most people aren't aware. This is why it is essential to maintain annual physicals. If you know that you have high blood pressure per a Doc, take the prescibed medication to control it. If in doubt about your blood pressures and/or there is a family history, contact your Doc for an evaluation. I hope this helps.

Answer 4

High blood pressure, medical term is "Hypertension". If you research, they usually call hypertension a "silent killer". There are no specific symptoms, some people may have headach. But the research shows that there are no symptoms with hypertensions.
Normal blood pressure: less than less than 120/80 mm Hg
Pre-hypertension: 120-129/80-89 mm Hg
Stage 1 hypertension: 140-159/90-99 mm Hg
Stage 2 hypertension: at or greater than 160-179/100-109 mm Hg
Go to any pharmacy and they usually have the free BP machine that you can use. Try to use it to find out where you are before going to a doctor.

Answer 5

There often are no symptoms. I only discovered I had high blood pressure after a horrendous nose bleed. You need to check it out with a physician or at a pharmacy which has a BP monitor.
