Hypertension

Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a pervasive medical condition where the force of blood against the walls of the arteries remains consistently too high. Often dubbed the "silent killer" due to its frequently asymptomatic nature, hypertension poses significant risks if left unchecked. It's a major contributor to heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. Factors such as genetics, diet, stress, and lifestyle play roles in its onset and progression. As a global health concern, understanding, monitoring, and effectively managing hypertension is pivotal to prevent its grave complications and promote cardiovascular health.
