Can high blood pressure cause shortness of breath?

High blood pressure forces your heart to work harder to pump blood to the rest of your body. This causes part of your heart (left ventricle) to thicken and may lead to heart failure which presents as shortness of breath, chest pain, persistent cough, swelling in legs and weakness.
