Are people with high blood pressure often angina, fatigue, dizziness at risk for heart or brain disease?

Ask
Doctor let me ask. I have had high blood pressure for many years and have taken medicine every day, but due to a stressful living environment, for 1-2 years now I often have angina on the left side, the left chest feels heavy. Feeling tired, tense, dizzy. I went to the doctor and told me that I had essential (primary) high blood pressure, and now I feel a bit tired. Doctor let me ask, people with high blood pressure who often have angina, fatigue, dizziness are at risk of heart or brain disease? Thank you doctor.

Hello. Chest pain, dizziness... are common symptoms due to heart and lung or musculoskeletal. At your age, there is rarely a physical disease of the heart and lungs unless you have congenital heart disease (disease in the womb). If the transient symptoms go away on their own, there is no need to worry.
High blood pressure in young people is rare, you don't say how much your blood pressure is. But if it makes you uncomfortable, affects your life, especially symptoms increase when exertion, you should go to a cardiologist at a medical facility or a hospital under Vinmec Health System for examination and treatment. More in-depth advice on the case of people with high blood pressure who often have angina, fatigue, dizziness, and are at risk of heart or brain disease?
Thank you for trusting and sharing your worries with Vinmec. Wishing you good health always.
