Mild hypertension?

Generally, when you are nervous and tired, your blood pressure will rise. The onset of hypertension is slow and gradual in most cases, lacking special clinical manifestations. About 1 / 5 of the patients are asymptomatic and are only found when blood pressure is measured or complications such as heart, brain and kidney occur. The common symptoms are dizziness, headache, neck plate tight, fatigue, palpitation and so on.

In tension or fatigue after aggravation, also can appear blurred vision, epistaxis and other serious symptoms. There is a certain correlation between symptoms and blood pressure level, which is caused by hypertensive vasospasm or dilation. Typical hypertensive headache can disappear after the blood pressure drops. Hypertensive patients can also have headache of other causes, which is often unrelated to the height of blood pressure, such as mental anxiety headache, migraine, glaucoma and so on.
