For those of you who have high blood pressure, do you notice any symptoms?

Such as ill tempered (short fused) and easily tired.
Mine is usually spot on 125/80 but today it was 151/81. Not a hypocondriac but I haven’t been feeling myself lately. I feel like I’m constantly ready for a nap, even when I haven’t been doing much of anything.
I was just curious to hear from those of you who may have high blood pressure if you can tell when your pressure is up, just by the way you feel. Thanks.

When my bp goes up I get a headache that won’t go away; I also get white translucent "swirlies" in my eyes (yeah, that’s a technical term). I get pretty irritable as well. I am always able to tell when my bp is up.
