Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a common long-term condition in which blood pressure remains higher than the recommended level over time. Blood pressure can change throughout the day, so diagnosis is generally based on repeated measurements and clinical assessment rather than a single reading.

Hypertension often causes no noticeable symptoms, which is why regular blood pressure checks are important. When blood pressure remains uncontrolled, it can increase the risk of serious health problems, including heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and damage to other organs.

Hypertension can often be managed effectively through a combination of healthy lifestyle habits, regular blood pressure monitoring, prescribed medicines when needed, and ongoing medical follow-up. Taking treatment consistently and maintaining healthy habits can help reduce the risk of complications.
