Next time your in a Wal-Mart with your Dad take him over to the Pharmacy section and sit him down at the Blood Pressure machine and check his BP as well as your BP.

I have high BP but have no symptoms. I am on 3 different medications and it still isnt under control.

Good Luck!

That tightness of chest and heart palps do not sound like BP it sounds like it could be anxiety..good luck, Lisa

Stacy,

The doc says I'm one of the lucky ones that experience symptoms. He said that if your bp increases rapidly, you will have symptoms.

I had headaches, no energy, blurred vision, and a feeling of soreness in the sides of my neck. What bothered me the most was the fact that I had no energy. I didn't want to do anything but lay around all the time.

Cheri.
