Hypertension

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a condition where the force of blood against the walls of your arteries is consistently too high. Over time, this added pressure can strain the heart and damage blood vessels.

It often has no symptoms, which is why it’s known as the “silent killer.” If left untreated, it can lead to serious health problems like heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage. With regular monitoring, healthy lifestyle changes, and medication if needed, hypertension can be managed effectively.
