Hypertension

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a condition where the force of one’s blood pushing against the walls of the arteries is higher than normal. Long-term hypertension can lead to serious health complications such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. It is a major risk factor for preventable, life-threatening conditions, making it important for individuals to monitor their blood pressure and seek treatment if needed. Lifestyle changes such as exercising, managing stress, and eating a healthy diet can help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of developing hypertension. Early diagnosis and management are key to a healthy life.
