High blood pressure symptoms: A sign in your breathing could signal a hypertensive crisis

High blood pressure doesn’t usually show any symptoms, so having it regularly checked is very important. 

Blood pressure can be measured by your GP or at a local pharmacist, and blood pressure monitors are also available to buy to have at home. It’s important to find out if you have high blood pressure, because serious, and sometimes life-threatening, complications can occur. A hypertensive crisis is a severe increase in blood pressure that can lead to a stroke.

Extremely high blood pressure can damage blood vessels. The blood vessels become inflamed and may leak fluid or blood, and as a result, the heart may not be able to pump blood effectively.

Other symptoms of a hypertensive crisis to watch out for include:

1.Severe chest pain
2.Severe headache, accompanied by confusion and blurred vision
3.Nausea and vomiting
4.Severe anxiety
5.Seizures
6.Unresponsiveness

Diet can play a big part in reducing blood pressure, and drinking a certain green juice has proven effective.
