One of the most dangerous aspects of hypertension is that you may not know that you have it. In fact, nearly one-third of people who have high blood pressure don't know it. The only way to know if your blood pressure is high is through regular checkups. This is especially important if you have a close relative who has high blood pressure. If your blood pressure is extremely high, there may be certain symptoms to look out for, including: Severe headache Fatigue or confusion Vision problems Chest pain Difficulty breathing Irregular heartbeat Blood in the urine Pounding in your chest, neck, or ears If you have any of these symptoms, see a doctor immediately. You could be having a hypertensive crisis that could lead to a heart attack or stroke. Untreated hypertension can lead to serious diseases, including stroke, heart disease, kidney failure and eye problems. Cancer can cause many different symptoms. These are some of them: Skin changes, such as: A new mole or a change in an existing mole A sore that does not heal Breast changes, such as: Change in size or shape of the breast or nipple Change in texture of breast skin A thickening or lump on or under the skin Hoarseness or cough that does not go away Changes in bowel habits Difficult or painful urination Problems with eating, such as: Discomfort after eating A hard time swallowing Changes in appetite Weight gain or loss with no known reason Abdominal pain Unexplained night sweats Unusual bleeding or discharge, including: Blood in the urine Vaginal bleeding Blood in the stool Feeling weak or very tired Most often, these symptoms are not due to cancer. They may also be caused by benign tumors or other problems. If you have symptoms that last for a couple of weeks, it is important to see a doctor so that problems can be diagnosed and treated as early as possible. Usually, early cancer does not cause pain. If you have symptoms, do not wait to feel pain before seeing a doctor. To learn more about symptoms for a specific cancer, see the PDQcancer treatment summaries for adult and childhood cancers. These summaries include information about symptoms.
