Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a chronic condition in which the force of blood against the artery walls remains consistently high. Often called the “silent killer,” it may not present noticeable symptoms, yet it increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems. Understanding its causes, such as genetics, lifestyle factors, and underlying health issues, is key to prevention and management. Effective hypertension care involves regular monitoring, lifestyle adjustments, and, when necessary, prescribed medications. Early detection and consistent management help maintain long-term cardiovascular health.
