A member asked:

At what level of blood pressure would cause headache vision symptoms?

Variable effects: The level of blood pressure required to cause headache or visual changes is very variable. A lot of it depends on how high the blood pressure is chronically and how rapidly it rises above that level. An important thing to realize is that your blood pressure could be quite high even if you don't have a headache or any visual changes.

High blood pressure: Can cause vision symptoms on occasion. Typically, the BP needs to be very high in order for this to happen. There isn't one specific level of BP elevation that will cause this though. Regardless, if you have hypertension, you should be on medication to prevent this (and other complications) from happening.
