7 Very Important Key Facts About Hypertension Everyone Needs To Know. by pharmacist(m): 6:35pm On Mar 19, 2023
Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a chronic medical condition characterized by elevated blood pressure levels in the arteries. It is a leading risk factor for many serious health conditions, including heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease. Here are some key facts about hypertension:

Blood pressure is considered high when it consistently measures 130/80 mmHg or higher.

Hypertension affects approximately 1 in 3 adults worldwide, making it one of the most prevalent medical conditions.

Hypertension is often called the "silent killer" because it often has no noticeable symptoms until it causes significant damage to the body.

The causes of hypertension are not always clear, but several risk factors are associated with the condition, including family history, age, obesity, smoking, and a sedentary lifestyle.

Treatment for hypertension often involves lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress reduction, as well as medication in some cases.

Hypertension is a chronic condition that requires ongoing management, and individuals with the condition should monitor their blood pressure regularly and work closely with their healthcare provider to manage their condition effectively.

Left untreated, hypertension can lead to serious complications, including heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and vision loss.

Hypertension is preventable in many cases, and adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress reduction, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can significantly reduce the risk of developing the condition.

In summary, hypertension is a prevalent and potentially serious medical condition that requires ongoing management to prevent serious complications. Adopting a healthy lifestyle and working closely with healthcare providers can help individuals with hypertension manage their condition effectively and reduce their risk of complications.
