1. Blurry Eyesight
With most of us spending a good deal of our time in front of our laptops and smartphones, blurred vision is often disregarded and attributed to eye fatigue. Our constant exposure to blue light is the most convenient way of explaining bad eyesight but for many who are unaware, visual problems can be a sign that one is suffering from high blood pressure and should not be dismissed so quickly.
People suffering from high blood pressure usually experience blurred vision, mostly because of its effect on the part of the brain responsible for eyesight. When a person has hypertension, the area of the brain where the nerves of the eyes are connected swells. This swelling worsens when the blood pressure remains high, causing the optic nerve to malfunction and cause bad eyesight, a reason why this sign should not be taken for granted.
