Q: What are the actual signs of high blood pressure? When I think I feel an onset, blood seems to rush to my head making my eyes feel as though they’re ready to pop out, my balance is affected and I feel tingling on the top of my head. I am on anxiety medication and also have had seizures in the past due to an inoperable brain lesion.
A: The only way to know if you have high blood pressure is to have your blood pressure measured. Usually hypertension does not cause headaches or any symptoms. However, some people with severely elevated blood pressure report headaches. Don’t delay. Make an appointment to see your doctor.
