What are the symthoms for high blood pressure? it runs in my family.

Usually nothing: For the majority of patients, high blood pressure is silent. Sometimes, when pressures are high enough, patients will feel tired or have a headache. Make sure your physician is aware of your family history.

High blood pressure: Is called the "silent killer" as most people with high blood pressure have no symptoms so detection is by checking the blood pressure.
