Symptoms Of Hypervolemia

High Blood Pressure

In adults, blood pressure is normal when it is between 100/60 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) to 130/80 mmHg, and high when the blood pressure stays above 140/90 mmHg. The excess fluid in the blood vessels caused by hypervolemia leads to hypertension. Symptoms of hypertension are often silent, and the patient often doesn’t know they have it until their doctor checks their blood pressure during a regular exam. Even with no other co-morbidities, untreated hypertension can lead to heart attack, stroke, congestive heart failure, kidney failure, and pulmonary edema.
