About the disease & condition

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a chronic condition where the force of blood against artery walls is consistently elevated. Over time, this increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and other complications. Often called the “silent killer,” it may show no noticeable symptoms until organ damage occurs. Early detection, lifestyle modifications, and medications help control blood pressure, reduce cardiovascular risk, and protect vital organs. Regular monitoring is key to effective management.

Known Symptoms

Often symptomless until severe or chronic complications.
Headaches, dizziness, or blurred vision occasionally experienced.
Shortness of breath or chest discomfort during exertion.
Nosebleeds or fatigue in advanced or uncontrolled cases.

Known Causes

Obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and poor dietary habits.
High salt intake, alcohol use, or tobacco consumption.
Genetics, family history, or age-related risk factors.
Chronic kidney disease, hormonal disorders, or stress.

Care

Regular blood pressure monitoring and medical follow-up.
Healthy diet low in salt, processed foods, and sugar.
Regular exercise, weight management, and stress reduction.
Medications as prescribed to maintain safe blood pressure levels.
