Yes, hypertension, often referred to as a "silent killer," it can damage the body without showing obvious symptoms. Over time, it can lead to serious health issues such as heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and eye problems.
When we hear people just slump and die, most times, it is high blood pressure that has not been managed properly. That's why it is always important to go for regular routine checkups. Conditions like high blood pressure can be detected early and managed with regular checkups.
My father is under medication for hypertension. I was also under medication for hypertension for a short time (it is a genetic disease). As you grow older, it is impossible to avoid but with proper diet and active lifestyle, you might be able to control it.
I am not hypertensive but it's a serious condition that must be managed well. Reducing salt intake and exercising regularly can control the blood pressure, thereby mitigating hypertension.
