Do you know why it’s vital to detect hypertension early?
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is known as "the silent killer" because many people have it without even knowing. It usually doesn’t cause noticeable symptoms at first, but over time it can lead to serious damage in the body if left untreated.
What is hypertension?
Hypertension is a condition in which the force of the blood against your artery walls is higher than normal. This extra pressure forces the heart to work harder, and over time, it can cause heart disease, kidney damage, vision problems, and even strokes.
Why is it so important to know if I have high blood pressure?
Because you can have high blood pressure and feel perfectly fine. Many people only discover they are hypertensive after a medical emergency.Identifying it early allows you to:
✅ Start treatment before complications arise
✅ Make lifestyle changes to improve your health
✅ Protect your heart, brain, and vital organs
✅ Live longer and with a better quality of life
