Do you know..... Hypertension is a Silent Killer?

WHY?
Hypertension is often referred to as the silent killer because we usually do not experience any symptoms. Some individuals may however experience headaches, nausea and or bleeding. High Blood Pressure or Hypertension can lead to strokes or a heart attack if not treated.

Blood Pressure is the pressure or force of blood against the walls of blood vessels as it circulates throughout the body. Blood Pressure is most commonly measured against the brachial artery of the arm. This is expressed by two numbers, systolic blood pressure (the top number) is the pressure in the artery when the heart contracts. Diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) is the pressure in the artery when the heart relaxes between beats.

Hypertension is a disorder of the Endocrine system, characterized by Increase in Blood pressure, above normal range... The normal range of blood pressure ranges from 100/60mmHg to 139/90mmHg...
Anything below or above this range is abnormal, signaling medical attention...
