### What to Watch For
1. **Blurry Vision**: Changes in vision may signal high blood pressure.
2. **Frequent Nosebleeds**: Experiencing nosebleeds regularly can be a warning.
3. **Dizziness**: Feeling lightheaded or dizzy might be associated with blood pressure issues.
4. **Headaches**: Persistent headaches could indicate high blood pressure.
