Family Health Tip from Dr. George Tomes, Dallas GA Chiropractor


Recommended Posts

They call hypertension (high blood pressure) the silent killer because often there are no signs, symptoms or warnings for this fatal condition. Due to the lack of symptoms, almost one in every three people have hypertension and don’t know it.

 

Most people with hypertension don’t report any symptoms. However, with extremely high blood pressure, the following may occur:

 

Headaches

 

Vision problems

 

Difficulty breathing

 

Dizziness

 

Pulsations in your chest, neck or ears

 

Weakness

 

Chest pain

 

Fatigue

 

How do you know if you’re at risk? Get your blood pressure checked on a regular basis, especially if you have any relatives with hypertension.

 

Your blood pressure and heart rate can change many times over the course of a day or week. It is ideal to check your blood pressure an average of about 3times/day and record the results in a notebook. Also, make sure to wait at least 30 minutes after you’ve eaten or smoked before testing.

 

We offer FREE blood pressure checks in our office, regardless of if you’re a patient or not. If you would like to get your blood pressure checked, just call us for a no-cost, no-obligation appointment.
