High blood pressure is often brushed aside as a common occurrence and people may have a tendency to not take it seriously till the problem aggravates to unmanageable levels. High blood pressure needs immediate attention
Measure your blood pressure:
- Measuring your blood pressure accurate is crucial to know if you have hypertension.
- Hypertension is a silent killer because in its early stages, it rarely causes symptoms, and many people go undiagnosed.
- If you have hypertension (blood pressure ≥ 140/90 mmHg), you should seek advice from a health professional.
Control it:
- Diagnosing and treating hypertension timely can reduce the risk of heart attacks, stroke, and kidney failure, among other health problems.
- When blood pressure is high, the heart has to pump harder, increasing the risk of damage to the heart and blood vessels in major organs such as the brain and kidneys.
- If you have hypertension, you should seek advice from a health professional.
