What is Hypertension?

Hypertension is also known as high blood pressure. One may be diagnosed with hypertension after having chronically elevated blood pressure. Although there are no initial signs or symptoms of high blood pressure, later symptoms may include headache or nosebleed. High blood pressure can create serious risk for many other health concerns, such as:

• Cardiomyophty
• Stroke
• Heart failure
• Aneurism

Although there are many factors, such as being overweight or inactive, that may lead to hypertension, there is a link between high stress and a sudden increase in blood pressure. Due to the dangerous or hazardous working conditions of many occupations, some workers have a presumed risk for hypertension. This makes filing for workers' compensation benefits less burdensome.
