Q: What are the signs and symptoms of hypertension (high blood pressure)? A: Although some people with high blood pressure have symptoms, such as headaches or dizziness, most people with high blood pressure have no signs or symptoms at all. That is why it is so important to have your blood pressure checked regularly by your healthcare provider. This is especially important if you are someone who is at higher risk for hypertension. If you have already been told that you have high blood pressure, it is important to have your blood pressure checked regularly by your healthcare provider to make sure that it is staying controlled. moderate increase in blood pressure does not usually cause any noticeable symptoms.

Hypertension - Is in simple terms a condition where your Blood pressure rises above the normal 120/80 reading. Symptoms usually are - Headaches,pain or discomfort in the neck (usually at the joint between the skull and neck), giddiness (if the BP is too high), prone to temper, irritation, edgyness. Simple way to know if you are suffering from hypertension is to get your BP checked, or use an electronic meter to check it for yourself. Do it monthly once (when you are not under stress), if you record high BP for more than 3 months then you should contemplate medicines. Hope it Helps (I am not in the medicine profession - but a patient myself.) :)
