A Few High Blood Pressure Symptoms In Men

By Bradd Alan


One in every three Americans suffers from high blood pressure. This adds up to about 65 million people. The risk of high blood pressure increases the moment men hit the age of 45 but it can also occur in younger men. High blood pressure also known as hypertension is the increase of blood pressure in the arteries. If not taken care of in the early stages of development, it can cause a mirage of ailments such as enlargement of the heart, aneurysms, which is a small bulge in the blood vessels, kidney damage and failure plus major damage to other main body organs. It is important to know some high blood pressure symptoms in men in order for you to know how to address the problem adequately.

Hypertension in men may cause constant and severe headaches. This is particularly in hypertensive crisis, where the systolic blood pressure is above 180 and the diastolic pressure is below 110. Systolic pressure is the top number of your blood pressure while the diastolic pressure is the lower number of your blood pressure.

Nosebleeds are also another symptom of hypertensive crisis. They are also a clear symptom of hypertension. One study conducted in a hospital indicated that 17% of people treated for high blood pressure suffered from nosebleeds. In the early stages of HBP, nosebleeds may occur constantly and regularly. It is highly advised that you seek medical attention if you experience this.

Blood spots in the eyes are also a sign of high blood pressure in men. Blood spots in the eyes are also known as subconjuctival hemorrhage. This is a common symptom in people with high blood pressure, and if left untreated it can cause serious damage to the optic nerve.

A flushed face is another characteristic of HBP. While a flushed face may also be triggered by other factors for example sun exposure and skin care products, a flushed face triggered by hypertension happens constantly and unexpectedly. You need to seek immediate medical attention if you experience this.

Constant dizziness and imbalance are also signs of high blood pressure in men. Dizziness is caused by the lack of blood circulating to the brain. This in turn causes an imbalance and might cause fainting.

When the arteries in the body expand to accommodate the pressure that is caused by HBP there is a decrease of oxygen supply to the heart. This can cause shortness of breath as well as difficulties in breathing. This is a major symptom of hypertension and should be taken seriously. Medical assistance should be sought immediately.

One of the common telltale indications of hypertension in men is blood in urine. This is particularly so for suffering high blood pressure for a long time. Urine in the bloodstream happens once the blood pressure reaches alarming levels that damage organs.
