“But I feel fine…” — That’s what makes hypertension so dangerous.⁣⁣⠀

High blood pressure (hypertension) is often called the “silent killer” because it usually has no obvious symptoms — until it causes serious damage.⁣⁣⠀

🚨 Most people have no symptoms at all⁣⁣⠀
…but if they do, it may include:⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
• Frequent headaches⁣⁣⠀
• Dizziness or blurred vision⁣⁣⠀
• Chest discomfort or shortness of breath⁣⁣⠀
• Fatigue or confusion⁣⁣⠀
• Nosebleeds (in severe cases)⁣⁣⠀
• Pounding in chest, neck, or ears⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
❗ When to Worry:⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
➤ Blood pressure consistently over 130/80⁣⁣⠀
➤ You have diabetes, heart disease, or kidney problems⁣⁣⠀
➤ You’re experiencing chest pain, vision changes, or numbness⁣⁣⠀
