What is Hypertension?

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a condition where the force of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries is consistently too high. This extra pressure makes the heart work harder and, over time, can damage blood vessels and vital organs like the heart, kidneys, brain, and eyes.

normal blood pressure reading is usually around 120/80 mmHg. If your readings are consistently 140/90 mmHg or higher, it is considered hypertension. Hypertension often develops over time and may not show clear symptoms in the early stages, which is why it’s often called the “silent killer.” Regular blood pressure checks are essential, especially if you have risk factors like obesity, stress, a sedentary lifestyle, or a family history of the condition.
