High blood pressure symptoms: Headaches could be a warning sign of the silent killer - Daily Express

Left to worsen, high blood pressure is a risky health condition, with most people only discovering they have it once they're rushed into hospital – normally due to a heart attack or stroke.

Also known as hypertension, high blood pressure can lead to headaches and bouts of dizziness.

Called a sphygmomanometer, a high blood pressure monitor can be bought from BHF.

It's important to buy a reliable blood pressure monitor to get an accurate reading.

The systolic number is the first number that tells you the pressure exerted when the heart is beating.

If you already own a blood pressure monitor, the BHF recommends the device is serviced every two years.
