High blood pressure is often referred to as the "silent killer" because it typically does not cause noticeable symptoms. Most individuals in Las Vegas, NV with high blood pressure do not experience any physical discomfort. However, in severe cases or during a hypertensive crisis, some people may experience symptoms such as headaches, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, or nosebleeds. Since these symptoms can be attributed to other underlying conditions, regular physical exams at Clinical Research of South Nevada are crucial to help identify high blood pressure, so it can be treated right away.
