Understanding Hypertension
It can be:
• Primary or Idipathic Hypertension: Often linked to genetic and lifestyle factors, it generally appears in middle ages.
• Secondary Hypertension: Caused by underlying conditions such as kidney disease, hormonal disorders, or medications.
If untreated, hypertension can lead to severe health issues, including:
• Heart disease and heart failure.
• Chronic kidney disease (CKD).
• Stroke.
• Vision problems.
Symptoms of Hypertension
Often called the “silent killer, and discovered on a routine checkup” hypertension may not show symptoms until complications arise. Regular check-ups are crucial to detect and manage high blood pressure early.
