Commonly referred to as high blood pressure, hypertension is a chronic illness whereby the force of blood against artery walls stays consistently high. Usually lacking obvious signs, it is also referred to as the "silent killer," as it greatly raises the chance of kidney failure, heart disease, stroke, and other major medical problems.
Genetics, a poor diet heavy in processed foods and salt, lack of physical activity, obesity, too much alcohol intake, smoking, and chronic stress are the main causes of hypertension. Furthermore, medical disorders, including kidney disease and diabetes, aggravate high blood pressure.
Primary (essential) hypertension, which originates from an underlying medical disease, and secondary hypertension—which results from a slow development over time without a known cause—are two varieties of hypertension. Regular blood pressure monitoring is absolutely essential since, over time, uncontrolled hypertension can compromise organs and blood vessels.
Managing hypertension calls for lifestyle changes like lower sodium intake, a heart-healthy diet, frequent exercise, a good weight, stress management, avoidance of tobacco, and too much alcohol. Sometimes effective regulation of blood pressure calls for medication. Maintaining general cardiovascular health and avoiding problems depend mostly on early identification and appropriate care.
