Overview
Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a prevalent condition where the force of the blood against your artery walls is high enough that it may eventually cause health problems, such as heart disease. It’s often referred to as the “silent killer” because it can be damaging your body for years without any symptoms.
Living with untreated hypertension can significantly affect your daily life. It increases the risk of serious conditions such as stroke, heart attack, kidney disease, and vision loss. By managing your blood pressure, you can enhance your quality of life, reduce your risk of these complications, and enjoy a more active, healthier lifestyle.
Hypertension can develop due to a variety of factors including genetics, age, lifestyle choices, and existing health conditions. Some common contributors include a high-salt diet, lack of physical activity, obesity, tobacco use, and excessive alcohol consumption. Managing these factors is crucial for both prevention and treatment of high blood pressure.
