Many people are hypertensive, some know that and are usually badly monitored, not correctly treated; the others do not know and are, therefore, not treated at all. It is important to know our blood pressure: that is why blood pressure is measured at almost each medical examination. Blood pressure needs better to be measured in healthy patients and in case of limited consultations.
Hypertension symptoms:
Hypertension dose not usually have symptoms which are likely to alert the patients. The more often hypertension is revealed by a routine medical examination. Sometimes, however, some signs can evoke hypertension:
•frontal or occipital headaches occurring in the morning
•dizziness
•Visual disorders: spotted vision, blurred vision…
•fatigue
•nose bleedings
•nose hemorrhages
•muscles cramps
•pollakiuria (frequent need to urinate)
•dyspnea (breathing difficulties related to a left ventricular insufficiency)
When discovering a hypertension, the doctor will control blood pressure under different conditions: resting, effort, standing, lying, left and right arm… ensuring like this its permanent characteristic.
