Hypertension is known as the silent killer because symptoms are difficult to detect until they reach critical levels. quot;People with severe high blood pressure or a rapid rise in blood pressure may also experience headaches, blurred or impaired vision, fits or black-outs.quot; read more here: http://hcd2.bupa.co.uk/fact_sheets/html/...

You can t feel it which is why they call it the silent killer. Most people don t know they have it until someone takes their blood pressure and the results are extemely high. This is how mine was detected.

Very dizzy and light headed, feel nausea and may vomit.
