10 Symptoms of Hypertension
Symptom #1: Flushing
It’s not uncommon for our faces to become flushed. It could be a result of being embarrassed, or just being too hot. Some people will also experience a flushing of the face when consuming alcohol or other drugs. Flushing of the face can also be an indicator of an underlying condition such as hypertension.
Hypertension can cause dilation of the blood vessels in the face to dilate, filling them with blood. This brings blood closer to the surface of the skin, causing us to turn red. It is most noticeable in the cheeks but can also occur in the neck and the chest.
