Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Following are the symptoms of hypertension. 1. Headache 2. Dizziness, blurring of vision, vomiting. 3. Tachycardia, palpitations 4. Sweating, chest pain. Since you are strong family history of hypertension and in post menopausal age, possibility of hypertension is more in your case. So start antihypertensive Chat Doctor.  Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
