High blood pressure warning - do you see this sign in your eyes? Symptoms revealed

HIGH blood pressure symptoms include headaches, chest pain and finding blood in urine. You could also be at risk of hypertension signs if you see these “floaters”.

High blood pressure affects more than 25 percent of all UK adults.

The condition, which is also known as hypertension, puts extra pressure on blood vessels and vital organs. It’s not always possible to know if someone is at risk of high blood pressure. But, some symptoms may become visible if the patient has extremely high blood pressure.

Seeing floaters could be a warning sign of hypertension, according to Superdrug. Floaters are dots or lines in the eyes that you can see. They may appear as small dark dots, squiggly lines, rings or cobwebs, said the NHS.

You could be at risk of high blood pressure if you see floaters and they’re obstructing your vision.
“It is unlikely what you're experiencing is symptoms of high blood pressure,” said Superdrug.

Other high blood pressure symptoms include headaches and dizziness. Facial flushing, nosebleeds, nausea, and palpitations could also be signs of hypertension.

Controlling your blood pressure is crucial, as hypertension increases the risk of some deadly conditions, including heart attacks and strokes.
