High blood pressure is sometimes called "the silent killer" because high blood pressure symptoms can be subtle until the advanced stages - and of course you don't want to wait until the advanced stages to take action!
Here are some advanced symptoms:
- headaches
- rapid pulse
- frequent sweating
- shortness of breath
- dizziness
If you're in touch with your body, these advanced symptoms will obviously be very noticeable.
Ideally you'll be dealing with the problem before it gets to this stage - but if not, it's still not too late.
If you want to catch high blood pressure before the condition becomes advanced, you'll want to tune in to some
symptoms that we sometimes just learn to live with.
In general, symptoms that could indicate poor digestion, liver and/or colon
congestion may be considered to be possible symptoms of high blood pressure.
Some of these are...
- indigestion
- acid reflux
- roseacea and skin rashes
- gas and bloating
- constipation (less than one bowel movement per day)

We often don't understand the progression of physical symptoms - how years
of chronic indigestion, gas and constipation can possibly develop into something
more serious like HBP and/or heart disease.
High Blood Pressure Causes
Although the causes are not always known, high blood pressure can often run in families, indicating a strong genetic component.
Risk factors for high blood pressure include smoking, alcohol abuse, obesity, a high salt intake, lack of exercise and stress - and a family history of hypertension and stroke.
Arteriosclerosis, or a thickening, hardening and narrowing of the walls of the arteries is also often associated with high blood pressure.
Blood pressure is controlled by a variety of organs and body systems, including the heart, the blood vessels, the kidneys, the brain and the adrenal glands, as well as the complex interaction between the body systems.
We measure blood pressure by using two different numbers - systolic pressure (the top number) over diastolic pressure (the bottom number). Systolic pressure measures blood pressure as the heart contracts and pushes blood through the arteries. Diastolic pressure is taken when the heart relaxes.
Normal blood pressure is around 120/80 or lower. It is important to note that blood pressure varies from person to person and can fluctuate from moment to moment. One or two high readings does not necessarily mean that you have hypertension or high blood pressure.
If your blood pressure has measured 140/90 or higher on at least two separate occasions, your doctor should recommend a 24 hour BP (blood pressure) monitor, which will show whether your BP remains chronically high. This will help to measure whether you have hypertension or high blood pressure.
If you're interested in a natural alternative to high blood pressure drugs and their side effects, we recommend High-Rite by Native Remedies. We use formulas by Native Remedies on a daily basis
