Hypertension is well known as being the “silent killer due to the disease offering no noticeable signs or symptoms that anyone person would immediately indicate as being hypertension, unless its measuring your blood pressure. If your high blood pressure or hypertension goes undetected and untreated, it can cause serious heart disease issues including congestive heart failure or a heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease. Those reasons alone are why it is so important to have regular physical examinations with your doctor to make sure your blood pressure is within normal range, or you are taking the precautions deemed necessary to lower your high blood pressure. Check in with your doctor regular with annual physical exams to help continue maintaining your health and ask any questions about your hypertension or other concerns you may have during these checkups to get the answers you need. Some situations you run into will warrant an immediate call to your doctor, especially if you: - Are not responding positively to the treatment your doctor has recommended - Your blood pressure is now lowering - If you are noticing these symptoms: • Fatigue • Nausea • Shortness of breath • Light-headed • Headache • Excessive sweating • Irregular heart beats • Problems with your vision • Confusion These symptoms will warrant prompt medical attention from your doctor or as they can be uncontrolled signs of high blood pressure or side effects from the medication itself.
