True or False: Signs or symptoms of high blood pressure occur very early in the condition.

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is often referred to as a "silent killer" because it typically does not present noticeable signs or symptoms in its early stages. Many individuals may have high blood pressure for years without being aware of it, as the condition often develops gradually over time. The absence of initial symptoms can lead to a lack of awareness and delay in diagnosis and treatment.

As the condition progresses or if blood pressure reaches critically high levels, some people may eventually experience symptoms such as headaches, shortness of breath, or nosebleeds, but these signs usually emerge after complications arise, rather than at the onset of the condition. Therefore, it is more accurate to state that signs or symptoms of high blood pressure do not occur very early in the condition, which makes the answer "False" correct.
