TL;DR
A Mumbai doctor explains that hypertension often starts quietly with mild, non-specific symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, fatigue, blurred vision, irritability, poor sleep, or shortness of breath, which many attribute to stress. Regular blood pressure checks—especially after age 30 or with risk factors like family history, diabetes, obesity, or smoking—are essential for early detection and reducing the risk of long-term organ damage.
