Jakarta - Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) 2013 by the Ministry of Health found about 26.5 percent of Indonesian adult population has hypertension. Unfortunately of these, 35.8 percent or more of a third do not know they have hypertension.
It is quite difficult to read hypertension because he is one of the 'silent killer'. Sometimes, people with hypertension show no symptoms at all but there are also some symptoms. The following are quoted from the American Heart Association here are some things that may arise when a person has hypertension.
Headache.
High blood pressure does not cause headaches or nosebleeds, except in case of hypertension crisis, where blood pressure reaches 180/120 mm Hg or higher. If someone's blood pressure is unusually high and you have headaches or nosebleeds do not wait long to get medical help right away.
However, it is not always a headache and nosebleeds due to hypertension, or it may be an indication of heart disease or other illness.
Red Spot in the Eyes.
Spots of blood in the eyes (subconjunctival hemorrhage) are more common in people with diabetes or high blood pressure, but the condition is not the cause of the spots.
However, the ophthalmologist may be able to detect damage to the optic nerve caused by untreated high blood pressure. So, when you find red spots on the eyes, do not hesitate to check yourself.
Sense of Warm in Face Area.
A warm rash accompanied by warmth occurs as the blood vessels in the face grow. This can happen unexpectedly or in response to certain triggers such as sun exposure, cold weather, spicy food, wind, or skin care products.
This can also happen because of stress, alcohol consumption and exercise, all of which can increase temporary blood pressure. Keep in mind, facial redness can occur when blood pressure is higher than normal, but high blood pressure is not the cause.
Other Characteristics.
Quoted from Everyday Health, there are some things that become symptoms when a person has hypertension. The characteristics that arise include confusion or other neurological symptoms, fatigue, blurred vision, chest pain, and or abnormal heartbeat.
