Does Hypertension Cause Extreme Exhaustion?
Not me, my husband. Has suffered for years from hypertension. In recent days, his feet have swollen, and he is experiencing bouts of extreme exhaustion. (on the other hand, he has mown our fairly large lawn). The bouts of exhaustion seem to pass after an hour in bed.
