7 facts about HYPERTENSION
1. Hypertension often has no symptoms — many people don’t know they have it until complications develop.
2. Blood pressure ≥140/90 mmHg on repeated measurements is considered hypertension (for adults).
3. Uncontrolled hypertension damages vital organs such as the heart, kidneys, brain, and eyes.
4. It is a major risk factor for heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease.
5. Lifestyle changes can significantly reduce BP — low-salt diet, regular exercise, weight control, avoiding to***co, and limiting alcohol.
6.. Medications are safe and effective, and many patients need more than one drug to keep BP controlled.
7. Regular monitoring is essential, especially for people with diabetes, obesity, or a family history of hypertension.
