One of the biggest problems for people who suffer high blood pressure is that a very significant percentage of them have no symptoms that might otherwise give them a clue that everything is not well.
Some people do of course suffer symptoms that might give them an idea that they have a blood pressure problem. Given that high blood pressure naturally means that the pressure of blood being pumped around the body is too high, there are some conditions that might suggest a high blood pressure problem.
For example, anyone who suffers persistent unexplained nosebleeds could have a high blood pressure problem as the weaker blood vessels in their nose inexplicably rupture. In a similar way, anyone who suffers from dizzy spells on a persistent basis or unexplained headaches may be suffering from high blood pressure as well as might someone who suffers blurred vision or even nausea.
For many people however, high blood pressure has no symptoms whatsoever. And even in a situation where someone is suffering a symptom that could suggest a blood pressure problem, these symptoms will often be so mild that it is all too easy to assume that there is nothing seriously wrong.
Similarly, it is unlikely that you would automatically assume that something like nausea or a headache is a symptom of high blood pressure. Consequently, it is far more likely that you would pop an aspirin when confronted by a condition of this nature rather than visiting your doctor for a blood pressure check.
Hence you have the reason why your doctor will check your blood pressure every time you visit. It is nothing to do with the condition that took you to their surgery or office in the first place and much more to do with the fact that you have given them an opportunity to check your blood pressure, an opportunity which they cannot afford to miss.
It becomes even more likely that your doctor will check you every time you visit as you age because it is a fact that high blood pressure is a problem that increases as you get older.
