Symptoms
The Silent Killer
High blood pressure is often referred to as the “silent killer” because most people with it have no symptoms, with only a small percentage complaining of headaches.
However, when hypertension is not treated properly over a longer period of time, the person may develop signs of complications or experience more severe symptoms.
If you think you may have high blood pressure, don't hesitate to consult a doctor.
