8. Dizziness

Dizziness is often dismissed as a minor symptom, but it can actually be a sign of high blood pressure. When blood pressure is too high, it puts extra strain on the heart and vessels, which can cause them to leak or rupture. This can lead to a drop in blood pressure, causing dizziness or lightheadedness. If you experience dizziness on a regular basis, it's important to see a doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
