Hypertension or high bp is a prevalent chronic lifestyle disease. It is mainly caused by people's food habits, lack of exercise, stressful living environment, etc.
High blood pressure happens when arteries narrow, increasing resistance and pressure. Long-term elevation can lead to heart disease and organ damage.
Hypertension can lead to many chronic or fatal diseases like coronary heart disease, heart attack, stroke, etc. Maintaining health and reducing the risk of these severe illnesses depend on controlling blood pressure. Usually, hypertension develops over a period of years. Typically, no symptoms are present.
High blood pressure can destroy your blood vessels and organs, including the brain, heart, eyes, and kidneys, even if you don't experience any symptoms. Early identification is crucial. By taking routine blood pressure measurements, you and your doctor can keep track of any changes. If your blood pressure is high, your doctor might have you check it over a few weeks to determine if it continues high or returns to normal ranges.
