Extremely high blood pressure may lead to some symptoms, however, and these include:
Severe headaches
Fatigue or confusion
Dizziness
Nausea
Problems with vision
Chest pains
Breathing problems
Irregular heartbeat
Blood in the urine
A high blood pressure measurement, however, may be spurious or the result of stress at the
time of the exam. In order to perform a more thorough diagnosis, physicians usually conduct a
physical exam and ask for the medical history of you and your family. Doctors will need to know
if you have any of the risk factors for hypertension, such as smoking, high cholesterol, or
diabetes.
Medical options to treat hypertension include several classes of drugs. ACE inhibitors, ARB
drugs, beta-blockers, diuretics, calcium channel blockers, alpha-blockers, and peripheral
vasodilators are the primary drugs used in treatment. These medications may be used alone or
in combination, and some are only used in combination. In addition, some of these drugs are

preferred to others depending on the characteristics of the patient (diabetic, pregnant, etc.).
If blood pressure is successfully lowered, it is wise to have frequent checkups and to take
preventive measures to avoid a relapse of hypertension.
Beetroot juice - a research team from Queen Mary, University of London, wrote in the journal
Hypertension that a cup of beetroot juice each day can reduce blood pressure in hypertensive
patients.
The researchers started off examining what the impact of consuming nitrates might be on
laboratory rats, and then confirmed their findings with 15 volunteer humans, all with
hypertension.
Beetroot
Fennel
Cabbage
Lettuce
Radishes
Carrots
Lead author, Amrita Ahluwalia, Ph.D., said "Our hope is that increasing one's intake of
vegetables with a high dietary nitrate content, such as green leafy vegetables or beetroot,
might be a lifestyle approach that one could easily employ to improve cardiovascular health."
Yoga - Dr. Debbie Cohen and colleagues from the University of Pennsylvania reported at the
"28th Annual Scientific Meeting" that yoga is effective in reducing blood pressure.
In order to prevent damage to critical organs and conditions such as stroke, heart attack, and
kidney failure that may be caused by high blood pressure, it is important to screen, diagnose,
treat, and control hyper tension in its earliest stages. This can also be accomplished by
increasing public awareness and increasing the frequency of screenings for the condition.
The risk appears to be there even for those whose elevated blood pressure is not considered
enough for medical intervention.
The authors say their findings should encourage doctors to control patients' blood pressure
early on, even the prehypertensive ones.
The team, led by Professor Charles DeCarli, said they found evidence of structural damage in
white matter, and also volume of gray matter among people with high blood pressure, including
prehypertensive patients in their 30s and 40s. They wrote that "(brain injury) develops
insidiously over the lifetime with discernible effects".

I have had hypertension since 13
Hello, I have had hypertension as far as I can remember, I think I was 13 when I realized this.
You do not need drugs to control this. I am now 45yrs old and still have this but here is
some of the things I noticed truly helps, do not smoke, eat healthy as possible, try not
drinking too much, stay away from stressful situations, exercise and check your BP as often
as you can, I take a few mins to check mine everytime I go to a drug store, but continue to
see your doctor about it yearly unless you start feeling fatique all the time or seem to be
"drained" all the time, or you have a thirst you cannot quench, or basically you just do not
feel like yourself... You should live a long healthy life so do not worry.

If the scar is worrying you then yes it could be responsible for part of the problem - stress
will increase blood pressure as part of the fight or flight response.
The scar will pull as it's not as flexible as ordinary skin - but if you are concerned please go
and see a doctor, they should be able to advise you how to reduce your blood pressure.
In November 2012 I had cause to check my blood pressure at a hospital and it red 136/?? (I
can't remember the other)
In January 2013, my wife noticed a small scar on the left side of my head that is obvious

each time I cut my hair very low. An attempt to scratch the scar causes pain.
I also have this pulling (like muscle pull but not in my legs) feeling.
Question is: do you think the scar and the pull has anything to do with the rising of my blood
pressure.
Thanks.

I have hypertension
Iam 39 y/o. i discovered my condition being hypertensive during our company's annual
PE.My BP measurement was 190/100. The doctor requested some lab tests,ecg,kub
ultrasound. I found out I had a very low potassium level in my blood, 2mmol/l which is
actually very alarming coz one time I had experience numbing and dizziness so I was rushed
to an ER.The doctor gave me potassium supplements(kalium durules)for 1 week 3x a day
aside from htn drugs to lower down my bp which I am taking everyday.It's really important to
monitor one's bp especially if you don't experience any symptoms just like me. it helps to
live a healthy lifestyle and eating the right kinds of food. Sometimes it depresses me coz I
know what are the effects of having a chronic HTN. God is my Healer , I believe it so. I hope
