What is Hypertension?

Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a condition where the force of blood against the artery walls is consistently too high. If left untreated, hypertension can lead to serious health complications. It is referred to as a “silent killer” as it typically has no symptoms. And so regular screening and monitoring is crucial for early detection and management.
