What is Hypertension?

Hypertension is a condition where the force of blood against the artery walls is consistently too high, putting extra strain on the heart and blood vessels. Often called the “silent killer,” it may not show symptoms but can lead to severe health issues if left uncontrolled.

Uncontrolled high blood pressure increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease, and vision problems. Timely diagnosis and continuous management can prevent these complications and improve overall well-being.
