Having high blood pressure has very few symptoms, if any.

For someone with so much high BP experience, you sure seem clueless.
There is one very comman. blatantly obvious, almost universal symptom
of high BP. A bloody nose!

I was about 46, sitting in my cubicle, at my computer workstation,
with nary a care in the world. Suddenly, I was spouting blood all
down the front of my shirt/tie. What the...!!??. I hadn't had a
bloody nose in over 40 yrs. I wasn't sick. I was the picture of
health, or so I thought. After a cow orker helped me stop the
bleeding, my supervisor came over to see how I was doing. After
listening to my baffled explanation/apology, he suggested I see a
doctor, as I jes might be suffering from high blood pressure.

Well, these bloody noses plagued me fer another week till I finally
got to the clinic. Sure enough. 200/150! Again, what the...??
Every time I'd had my BP checked, previously, it was a steady 125/75.
So often and consistent, in fact, even I had become somewhat amazed.
Now, almost overnight, I'm about to explode!

Anyway, not only is it a very common sympton, I get it at the drop of
a hat. If I miss my meds fer even 2 days, bloody nose! I now care
for my senile mom, from whom I no doubt inherited HBP, as she has it
too. If she misses her meds even ONE day, bloody nose! So, it's not
only quite common, but seems most everyone --'cept you-- knows about
it. Now you know.
