High Blood Pressure? -

My legs feel heavy and i have no energy in my muscles (for instance standing up i have to use my weight and lean forwards, stirring food becomes tiring quickly) i also sometimes feel like there s pressure on my eyes. I have an appointment in two weeks with a GP. Could it be hypertension?

pressure in my eyes: if there is pressure in your eyes, specifically what we call intraocular pressure, maybe you have glaucoma due to hypertension. increase in intraocular pressure is glaucoma may be due to hypertension and diabetes. about your muscles: those you described above are not signs, symptomps or describes hypertension, maybe you are hypokalemic (low in potassium) so your muscle is decreased in tone. there are diagnotic test for glaucoma and hypokalemia...visit your physician...

I have high blood pressure and I don t have any of those things. What I do have is heart palpitations sometimes and a heightened colour about me apparently but wasn t aware that was something that happened with high blood pressure. I don t think you have high blood pressure but it doesn t hurt to get checked out incase you re run down or lacking in something.

There are no symptoms of high blood pressure. If it goes undiagnosed it can kill by causing a heart attack or a stroke. See your doctor. There are medicines available but you could also help yourself by quitting smoking, cutting back on the drinking, and losing weight if you re carrying a few pounds too many. Exercise can help too.

Your blood pressure may be raised, but I don t think that would cause the symptoms you have. They are non-specific and there are many possible causes. You might be under too much stress, or depressed. Keep your appointment to see if there are any physical causes....too many to list here. Good luck

Is hypertension not being stressed out ? And that doesn t mean no energy ? Try eat loats of carbohydrates and see how you feel and when you get your blood pressure taken average is 120/80.
