Tiredness and Diabetes. Many people with diabetes will describe themselves as feeling tired, lethargic or fatigued at times. It could be a result of stress, hard work or a lack of a decent nightâs sleep but it could also be related to having too high or too low blood glucose levels.
Why hypertension is a silent killer. You may know it as hypertension or high blood pressure. Itâs silent because you may not realize itâs stalking you. âMost often it does not have symptoms,â says Dr. Richard Ward, a family physician with Calgary Foothills Primary Care Network.
High blood pressure is known to cause severe hypertension headaches, but aside from that there are no other obvious signs or symptoms of hypertension, earning it the name âsilent killerâ. Headaches caused by high blood pressure are not chronic, but when a person has an episode, it is usually quite severe. It takes a blood pressure of 200/100 or higher to trigger a headache episode, and this can qualify as a medical emergency requiring immediate attention.
