I'm going to give you 10 high blood pressure symptoms you should never ignore. Hypertension or high blood pressure is a leading cause of heart attacks, heart failure, strokes, and it is the number two cause of kidney failure in the US. Worldwide. Over 1 billion people have hypertension, and in the United States, 46% of adults over the age of 20 have high blood pressure.

What Is Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure refers to the force that the blood in your vessels exerts on the walls of your arteries. For your blood pressure measurement, you're probably familiar with the two numbers. The top number or systolic blood pressure and the bottom number, diastolic blood pressure. The systolic blood pressure refers to the pressure in your vessels when the heart is contracting or squeezing. The diastolic blood pressure refers to the pressure in your vessels when the heart is relaxed.

1. Headache
2. Blurry Vision
3. Fatigue
4. Chest Pain
5. Weakness
6. Nausea
7. Shortness of Breath
8. Back Pain
9. Nose Bleeds
10. Nothing

I have had several symptoms that I did not know that were symptoms. I have stage 2 and I have ignored it until now. I am a 52 year old Latina woman who is going to start getting this under control. Thanks Dr Frita!

my parents both have high blood pressure, my father takes care of himself, exercises, eats healthy and takes his medications keeping his bp down, my mother on the other hand was healthy, ate healthy and went without a primary dr for years, dying from a heart attack 2 years ago from hypertension, i wish she would have made it to a dr and got back on her medication, she didnt take these things as serious as they truly are. i hope anyone who sees this takes my advice and take this seriously, it's not worth losing your life or your loved ones when all you need is to eat better, exercise and take your medications. the silent killer is a real thing, it took my mother. she was only 50, loved her grandchildren and her family and we miss her very much. god bless.

My first sign of a problem was a really loud. Sort of Zhoom Zhoom Zhoom noise in my ears so loud it would block out all outher noise.
I requested a pharmacy blood pressure check.
Pharmacist gave me an emergency appointment with my doctor .
Now received medication for severe hypertension . .
Lucky to be alive.

I really wish she was my doctor because she's very informed and explains everything so clear. She's the best

I'm recently diagnosed with hypertension and now take 3 pills daily . My first warning was severe headache while I slept, which woke me up two nights in a row..following advice I went straight to hospital where the nurse recorded my bp at 258/130 and it stayed there for hours until they found a pill that worked . Every morning I check my bp and it is around the 150/80 mark until the meds kick in . Since being diagnosed I have experienced back pain, breathlessness, headaches and blurry vision . I have frequent blood and urine tests .. I am far from out of the woods, infact I am in the thick of them . When my bp was at 258/130 I actually had no symptoms but apparently I was as close as can get to meeting my maker and I am stunned I'm stunned and shocked to still be here.. So hanging in here and appreciate finding your videos .

Listening to these symptoms is causing me get into hypertension

[annitajoshua]

I searched for this channel because I am not trusting my condition, thank you Dr Frita I am on my way to see a Dr after watching this

[notasleanstillasmean]

I hope you spend the same amount of time explaining to your patients and that I had a doctor like you. I feel rushed and not listened to after my visits.

And to think how we’ve spent the last year worrying about what’s going on outside (Corona) when we should be worried about what’s going on inside. Gotta get out and walk 30 minimum every day, reduce the sodium, stop watching the news, talk to family/friends instead of social media. Elevated BP > heart attack or stroke is the real pandemic we’re living with before and after Corona. Thank you Dr. Frita.

have hbp gr 2...almost never had headaches. problem with vision yes at time. Fatigue yes, chest pain yes.

Dr. Frita, I went on a whole food plant based diet with no avocados, no rice, no pasta, no salt, no added sugars or artificial sweetners and no oil and by emphasizing dark green vegetables, steel cut oatmeal and beans daily and excludes alcohol, sugary drinks and regular coffee (decaf only) and my pressure dropped to 85/60 (with medication) and I have lost 20 lbs. in two months without exercise! I steam my food and sauté in vegetable broth that has no salt. I don’t eat anything that isn’t from nature! I’m losing 2 lbs per week easily. I do take medication- a calcium channel blocker and a diuretic but prior to my diet change my pressures were still not consistently controlled. Now I have hope with continued weight loss that I can get rid of the pills altogether. And I feel amazing. We all need to stop eating processed foods that have all the fiber and potassium removed and are loaded with sugar, fat and salt: these foods are killing people!!

This doctor is great why would someone put thumbs down She deserves thumbs ⬆

[EliaszSobinski]

I had chest pains, went to the hospital they told me everything is fine

[meleco]

My 50 year old mama had HBP for as long as I could remember. she sadly passed because of this. No symptoms and her BP was over 200. Please take this seriously. She was okay one day and gone the next. This silent killer is no joke.

[mike_skinner]

I went to the hospital with chest pain and fatigue. The cat scan showed some scarring of the lungs. The ultrasound showed an enlarged heart and my pulse was 43. This weekend I am so tired and I have back pain. I feel right now it would be a blessing to pass away.

I had shortness of breath and fatigue for months. One hour after taking my first anti hypertensive pill in years I felt so much better. Time to diet and exercise now to improve my bp and eventually get off the drug.
