Hypertension is a medical condition where the blood pressure in your arteries is consistently too high, which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

⚕️ What Hypertension Means

• It means your heart is working harder than normal to pump blood.
• Often called "high blood pressure," it may not cause symptoms initially but can lead to serious health problems over time.
• Managing hypertension usually involves lifestyle changes and sometimes medication prescribed by a doctor.

🩺 When to See a Doctor

• Regular check-ups with a cardiologist or general physician are important to monitor and control blood pressure.
• If you experience symptoms like severe headaches, chest pain, or shortness of breath, seek medical attention promptly.
