If your legs or feet are swelling, you feel constantly tired, or you get breathless when lying down or walking short distances — don’t ignore it.

A major 2025 Kenyan study of nearly 800 patients found:
• 62% had leg swelling
• Many had severe breathlessness and fatigue
• 76% had weak heart pumping

The leading cause? High blood pressure.

Many patients arrive at hospital very sick. If you notice these signs, see a doctor early — it can save your life.

🫀 Protect your heart. Check your BP regularly.

In Kenya, heart failure strikes early — at an average age of 52 years.

A 2025 study from Kenyatta National Hospital, Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, and Aga Khan University Hospital found that 89% of cases were newly diagnosed, with high blood pressure as the leading cause.

This affects Kenyans in their most productive years.
Check your BP, live healthy, and seek care early. 💙
