Why Hypertension Is Called the Silent Killer
Hypertension often has no obvious symptoms. A person can have high blood pressure for months or years and still feel well, while it gradually damages the heart, blood vessels, kidneys and eyes. Untreated high blood pressure raises the risk of stroke, heart attack, kidney disease and vision loss. These complications may appear suddenly, but the condition often develops quietly over time. The reliable way to know your blood pressure is to measure it regularly. Do not wait for headaches, dizziness or other warning signs. If you have not checked your blood pressure in the past year, consider getting it checked this week.
