Hypertension: The Silent Killer🫀🤫
Blood pressure is the force your blood uses to move through your arteries, carrying oxygen and nutrients from your heart to the rest of your body. But when that pressure stays too high over time, it can quietly damage your heart and other organs. ⚠️
This condition is called hypertension, and many people don’t even know they have it. In fact, the World Health Organization estimates that 46% of adults with hypertension are unaware. 😳
That’s why routine blood pressure checks at your primary care office are so important! 🩺
Unchecked high blood pressure can lead to:
💔 Heart attack
🫀 Heart failure
🧠 Stroke
👁️ Blindness
🧂 Kidney failure
Stay informed. Get checked. Protect your health. 🛡️
"And the very best thing of all, there’s a counter on this ball. Skip it! Skip it!"
We loved keeping track of our numbers back then. And it’s still important to know your numbers now. If you’re 18 or older, get a blood pressure check every year, even if you’re healthy.
