Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

Commonly referred to as high blood pressure, hypertension is the disorder in which the force of the blood against the artery walls is regularly too high. This excess pressure can lead to major medical problems over time, including renal disease, heart disease, stroke, and eyesight loss. Often referred to as "the silent killer," hypertension frequently starts without symptoms, so regular blood pressure monitoring is crucial for early identification.
Among the several elements causing hypertension are heredity, obesity, high salt intake, stress, too much alcohol, smoking, and a lazy lifestyle. Another concern is ageing. When symptoms do show up, they could be headaches, dyspnoea, nosebleeds, or dizziness, but these usually follow from dangerously high blood pressure.
Managing hypertension means leading a heart-healthy lifestyle: cutting salt, eating many fruits and vegetables, keeping a good weight, working regularly, limiting alcohol, and giving up smoking. To assist lower blood pressure, doctors might write prescriptions for drugs including beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, or diuretics. 
Unchecked, hypertension can compromise important organs and lower life expectancy. Maintaining blood pressure within a safe range and advancing long-term health depend critically on early diagnosis, regular monitoring, and proactive lifestyle adjustments.
