    Not usually. Talk about a stealth bomber: High blood pressure is one of the most common health problems and it can increase your risk for all manner of medical mayhem. Yet it is almost always symptomless. Like atrial fibrillation, many people don’t know they have either until a doctor tells them during a physical exam. So get your blood pressure checked regularly.
