Hypertension
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a serious health condition that affects millions of people worldwide—often without any obvious symptoms. At Kanad Hospital, we encourage routine blood pressure checks to detect and manage hypertension early.
Why Is It Called the “Silent Killer”?
Hypertension may not cause any noticeable symptoms in its early stages, which is why many people remain undiagnosed until complications arise. If left untreated, it can lead to:
- Heart attacks
- Stroke
- Kidney disease
- Vision loss
Common Warning Signs to Look For:
- Persistent headaches
- Dizziness or fatigue
- Chest discomfort
- Blurred vision
- Shortness of breath
- Irregular heartbeat
If you experience any of these symptoms regularly, it’s time to get your blood pressure checked.
Who Is at Risk?
- People over 40
- Those with a family history of hypertension
- Individuals with sedentary lifestyles
- Smokers or those with poor dietary habits
- People with high stress levels
