I suffered closed head trama to the back of my head busting thru my window in a wreck. It has affected my memory short an long term, also at times I have trouble swallowing, staying focused , blurred vision, this was in 2005. I have passed out hitting the front, side and back of my head due to unknown high blood pressure, what other things should I expect ?

Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

One of the problems with hypertension is that there are no specific symptoms. there may be mild symptoms like headache, vision problem, sweating, heaviness of the heart , breathlessness, palpitation.

Having said that, there may be no symptoms at all and person gets to know of high bp on a checkup.

Your current problems seem to be due to the injuries. And not exactly related to high blood pressure directly- memory loss, difficulty in focussing/swallowing all seem to be due to the injury.

Take your blood pressure medicines regularly. High blood pressure can have many drastic effects inclusive of paralysis and heart attacks
