High blood pressure exercise: Five of the best workouts to avoid hypertension symptoms

High blood pressure is often known as ‘the silent killer’, as symptoms don’t tend to reveal themselves unless you have extremely high blood pressure.

Common high blood pressure symptoms include having a pounding in your chest, finding blood in your urine, and difficulty breathing.

You should speak to a doctor if you’re worried about the warning signs of hypertension, or if you think you may be at risk.

Everyone over 40 years old should check their blood pressure at least once every five years.
