Hypertension, or high blood pressure, occurs when the force of the blood against your artery walls is consistently too high. This condition can damage blood vessels over time and increase your risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, and other serious health issues. Often called a “silent killer,” hypertension may not cause noticeable symptoms until significant damage has occurred. It can be caused by a combination of genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors, including poor diet, lack of exercise, stress, and underlying health conditions. Regular screenings and professional care are essential for early detection and effective management.
