In nearly all cases, high blood pressure has no symptoms whatsoever. So how can you tell? Have a test: Option #1) Get one done for free. You can go to your supermarket or pharmacy and use one of their “Free Test” machines. Unfortunately, these machines often haven’t been serviced in years. Ask the pharmacist when the last service was.
