Hypertension: Symptoms, Causes, Treatments, and Natural Approaches

What Are the Symptoms and Early Signs of Hypertension?

High blood pressure, especially primary hypertension, usually has no symptoms. Thus, the condition may go undetected until a medical examination or the development of complications, such as heart disease or kidney problems. Commonly attributed symptoms, including headaches, nosebleeds, dizziness, a flushed face, and fatigue, are unreliable indicators, as they occur just as often in people with normal blood pressure.

However, certain signs and symptoms do manifest in some types of hypertension.

Signs that suggest the need to investigate secondary causes of hypertension include:

  • Resistant hypertension.
  • A sudden increase in blood pressure in someone who previously had stable readings.
  • Hypertension starting before puberty.
  • Non-dipping or reverse-dipping blood pressure patterns. Reverse dipping blood pressure is higher at night than during the day. Non-dipping blood pressure remains unchanged throughout the night, even though it is supposed to decrease.
