Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

Persistently elevated blood pressure in the arteries, often called the 'silent' condition because it usually causes no symptoms while gradually damaging the heart, kidneys, and blood vessels. Regular blood pressure checks, a low-sodium diet, physical activity, and medication when needed are the cornerstones of management.
