6. Headache
While there is very little evidence that links headaches to it, high blood pressure can trigger an event, which eventually causes headaches. This event is known as hypertensive crisis, which occurs when the pressure in the cranium increases due to a sudden rise in blood pressure levels – up to 180/120 mm Hg or higher.
The headaches are usually accompanied by chest pain, nausea, and blurred vision, and they can’t be treated with regular pain relievers. It’s recommended you call 911 or contact your doctor if you’re experiencing a hypertensive crisis.
