Let's talk about High Blood Pressure!

'The Silent Killer'

🧵🧶

High Blood Pressure,

also known as hypertension,

is a common condition in which the force of blood

against your artery walls is too high.

High Blood Pressure can lead to serious health problems such as:

- heart disease,

- stroke,

- and kidney failure

It is often referred to as the 'silent killer'

as there are usually no symptoms.

Some risk factors for high blood pressure include:

- obesity

- smoking

- high salt intake

- lack of physical activity

- and stress

High Blood Pressure can be treated and controlled

with lifestyle changes such as:

- eating a healthy diet

- maintaining a healthy weight

- regular exercise

- and reducing stress.

Medications such as diuretics, ACE inhibitors, and beta blockers

may also be prescribed to help lower blood pressure.

Regular check-ups with your doctor

and monitoring your blood pressure at home

can help you stay on top of your blood pressure

and make any necessary adjustments

to your treatment plan.
