During the winter months, the oxygen supply in the body decreases which results in arteries and blood vessels, putting more pressure on pumping the blood properly. This causes high blood pressure.
Here are a few signs that may be considered as indicators when there is a rise in blood pressure.
A sudden increase in the frequency or intensity of headaches during the winter season is a sign of blood pressure. These headaches may be accompanied by dizziness or a feeling of pressure in the head.
High blood pressure drains the energy of the individual which causes fatigue and a general feeling of weakness. If you are feeling unusually tired or lack energy during the winter months, it is time for you to check your blood pressure levels.
Elevated blood pressure is directly linked with a cardiovascular system which results in shortness of breath. Due to this, you may experience difficulty in breathing. For those experiencing breathlessness without any obvious cause, visit your doctor immediately.
Chest pain or discomfort is a symptom of high blood pressure. It is accompanied by other signs such as shortness of breath or fatigue. The chest pain may worsen gradually as it radiates to the arms, shoulders, neck, or jaw.
