Very few symptoms: Until it is too late! the BP must be measured to be assessed. The risks of untreated hbp: heart attack, stroke, impotence, etc. Emergency care should be initiated if sys >185m, or heart attack, stroke. Rec: lose weight, exercise, lower salt intake, see doc for meds if needed.

HBP symptoms: Almost all with HTN have no symptoms till have stroke, heart or kidney failure, or heart attack or die suddenly. This is the reason it is called the silent killer. What we do know is that the higher it is the sooner you die and the greater percent of the time you live you suffer from CVD before you die. We know treating HTN makes you live longer and suffer less from CVD. If high get treated.
