6 Hypertension Symptoms And Signs

4. Shortness Of Breath

If a patient has cardiovascular issues brought on by hypertension, he or she can be gasping for air.

Shortness of breath is experienced when climbing stairs or after doing some physical activities.

Shortness of breath is a symptom of pulmonary hypertension, a condition when there is an increase in pressure in the pulmonary circulation.

People with pulmonary hypertension have restricted or clogged lung arteries.

This affects the system designed to provide pure, oxygenated blood to the left side of the heart and eventually to the rest of the body.

3. Nosebleed

Several studies have shown a connection between hypertension and nosebleeds.

According to one research, those with hypertension are more likely to get nosebleeds that may need medical treatment than those with normal blood pressure.

The likelihood of nosebleeds rose by 47% if the patient has hypertension. Hence, the severity of the bleeding in patients with hypertension was increased.

They were 2.7 times more likely to get emergency department treatment,

Although it is uncommon for hypertension to be the cause of nosebleeds, it is more challenging to stop a nosebleed if the patient is hypertensive.
