Causes of High blood pressure
High blood pressure (hypertension) occurs when the force of blood against artery walls is consistently too high. It's often called the 'silent killer' because it may show no symptoms but can lead to heart disease, stroke, and other health issues. Risk factors include age, family history, obesity, lack of physical activity, smoking, and high salt intake. You can manage high blood pressure by maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, eating a balanced diet, reducing salt and alcohol, and managing stress. Regular check-ups are essential for early detection and effective management.
