What is Hypertension?

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is often called the “silent killer” because it typically has no symptoms until significant damage has already occurred. Left unchecked, it can lead to:

• Heart attack

• Stroke

• Kidney failure

• Vision loss

The good news? Hypertension is preventable and manageable with timely diagnosis, lifestyle changes, and medical support.

Why World Hypertension Day Matters

The theme for World Hypertension Day 2025 is “Know Your Numbers, Control Your Blood Pressure”. The goal is to increase awareness of:

• Blood pressure readings

• Risks of uncontrolled hypertension

• The importance of regular screening

Millions are unaware they even have high blood pressure. Early detection can be lifesaving.
