Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a medical condition where the force of blood against the walls of arteries is consistently too high. It can strain the heart and damage blood vessels over time.
Hypertension can be caused by a combination of factors, including genetics, lifestyle choices (such as diet, physical activity, and smoking), age, and certain medical conditions like kidney disease and hormonal disorders.
Hypertension is often referred to as the “silent killer” because it usually doesn’t cause noticeable symptoms. In some cases, individuals may experience headaches, shortness of breath, dizziness, or nosebleeds, but these symptoms are not exclusive to hypertension.
Persistent high blood pressure can damage blood vessels, the heart, and other organs, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney problems, and even vision issues.
Hypertension is diagnosed by measuring blood pressure using a blood pressure cuff. A reading of 130/80 mmHg or higher on multiple occasions is generally considered hypertension.
