Persistent high blood pressure can increase your risk of conditions including heart attacks, stroke and vascular dementia
High blood pressure affects around 18 per cent of men and 13 per cent of women in the UK. Also known as hypertension, the NHS states that high blood pressure puts extra strain on your blood vessels, heart and other organs, such as the brain, kidneys and eyes.
“In 90-95% of cases, there is no single identifiable reason for a rise in blood pressure. But all available evidence shows that lifestyle plays a significant role in regulating your blood pressure,” the NHS website continues. But, while hypertension symptoms are not easy to spot, there are some signs to look out for - including pulsations in the neck. Others to look out for are severe headaches, anxiety, shortness of breath, or palpitations.
