Unfortunately, there are not many physical symptoms of high blood pressure. Some people feel dizziness or light-headed, some get head-aches. Other than that, there are usually 2 ways that people find out they have high blood pressure:

• They go for a medical check-up
• They have a heart attack

If you think you could have high blood pressure have a medical check-up now. It will not go away by ignoring it. It is so simple to lower that it is just not worth the risk. Did you know that 1 person dies every 10 minutes from heart disease? And most of those deaths could have been prevented!

Could you have high blood pressure?

• you are overweight
