Bloodshot eyes may be sign of 'silent killer' people are being urged to look out for

Health experts have revealed that bloodshot eyes can be a tell-tale sign of a 'silent killer' condition - and are urging people to be on the lookout for it. High blood pressure, or hypertension, can lead to a number of serious health complications and often goes unnoticed for many years.

Experts have shared five top tips that could help people spot the early signs. The condition puts added stress on your blood vessels and vital organs by forcing your heart to work harder to pump blood around your body, and is known to cause heart attacks and strokes.
