High Blood Pressure | Symptoms & Signs | Diagnosis & Tests | Prevention & Expectations | Treatment & Monitoring

What are the signs and symptoms of the condition?

Often, a person will have high blood pressure without any symptoms. Over time, however, a person may develop any or all of the following symptoms:

  • chest pain
  • dizziness
  • headaches
  • shortness of breath
  • visual impairments, such as blurred vision
  • The main sign of high blood pressure is an elevated systolic or diastolic blood pressure. Blood pressure tends to rise with stress or exercise. It should return to normal when the person is at rest.
