Symptoms of high blood pressure
High blood pressure does not usually cause any obvious symptoms. As a result, it is known as the ‘silent killer’.

The only way to find out whether you have high blood pressure is to have your blood pressure checked regularly.

Symptoms can occur in rare cases where a person has a very high blood pressure level. The symptoms may include:

•a headache
•blurred or double vision
•nosebleeds
•shortness of breath
Visit your GP as soon as possible if you have any of these symptoms.

Regular blood pressure checks
If you are diagnosed with high blood pressure, it is very important to have your blood pressure checked on a regular basis.

Adults who are over 40 and have not been diagnosed with high blood pressure should have their blood pressure checked at least once every five years. However, your blood pressure should ideally be checked more frequently, particularly if you have any contributory risk factors.

Once high blood pressure has been diagnosed, your blood pressure will need to be closely monitored until it is brought under control. After your blood pressure has been controlled, your GP or practice nurse will measure your blood pressure every few months.

Blood pressure checks are usually available on request at most GP surgeries and health clinics. Many also have a policy of arranging regular checks for you. Children usually have their blood pressure routinely tested as part of their regular programme of health checks.

Pregnancy
If you are pregnant, you should have your blood pressure checked on a regular basis, even if it is not high.

Watching your blood pressure while you are pregnant reduces your risk of developing pregnancy-induced hypertension, which can lead to a serious condition called pre-eclampsia where there is a problem with the placenta (the organ that links the baby’s blood supply to the mother’s).

See the Health A-Z topic about Pre-eclampsia – introduction for more information about the condition
