World Hypertension Day 2024: 7 Most Common Symptoms You Shouldn't Ignore

High blood pressure is a major cause of death globally and a "silent killer." If neglected, it can lead to cardiovascular disorders such as heart attack, stroke, or panic attack.

7 Most Common Symptoms of Hypertension You Shouldn't Ignore

Headache: If you wake up or experience headaches during the night, it could be a sign of nocturnal hypertension. High blood pressure can cause headaches that are most severe in the morning because blood pressure naturally increases during sleep and reaches its highest point in the early hours of the morning.

Restlessness and Fatigue: Exhaustion and restlessness may also be signs of hypertension. An inability to get a good sleep due to high blood pressure can result in restless feelings during the day. Fatigue may also arise from the heart having to work harder to pump blood through constricted blood arteries. (Image Source: Getty)
