Understanding Blood Pressure — The Silent Messenger

Why You Should Never Ignore Your Blood Pressure

Your blood pressure gives important clues about the health of your heart and blood vessels. Even when you feel fine, high blood pressure (hypertension) can be quietly causing damage.

Why Regular BP Checks Help

• Hypertension has no symptoms.

• It increases the risk of heart disease, kidney problems, and stroke.

• Early detection allows for simple lifestyle changes that protect you long-term.
