High Blood Pressure, also known as Hypertension, is a medical condition in which the force of blood against the walls of the arteries becomes consistently too high. This condition often develops gradually and may not show clear symptoms in the early stages, which is why it is sometimes called a “silent condition.” High blood pressure can occur due to factors such as unhealthy diet, excessive salt intake, lack of physical activity, stress, obesity, smoking, or family history.

If hypertension is not properly controlled, it can increase the risk of serious health problems such as heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and vision problems. People with high blood pressure may sometimes experience headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath, or chest discomfort. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, managing stress, and taking prescribed medications can help control blood pressure and support long-term heart health.
