Hypertension is a common cardiovascular condition in which the force of blood against the walls of your arteries remains consistently high. This puts strain on your blood vessels and heart, increasing the risk of severe complications, such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage.
Lifestyle factors, such as poor diet, lack of physical activity, and obesity, can lead to hypertension. In some cases, genetic factors, stress, and age can also be contributing factors.
One of the biggest challenges with high blood pressure is that it often has no noticeable symptoms. Many people live with it without realizing it, only discovering the issue when more serious health problems, such as a heart attack or stroke, occur.

- Routine monitoring: Regular blood pressure checks to monitor trends and detect any changes early.
