Despite easy access to information, tons of local and global awareness campaigns and real-life stories from family and friends, a lot of people continue to maintain nonchalant and careless lifestyles, ignoring the risks this silent killer brings.

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is when the pressure in your blood vessels is consistently higher than normal. This means your heart has to work harder to pump blood around your body. The tricky part is that it often has no symptoms, so it can progress without you even noticing. Over time, this can lead to serious and potentially life-threatening issues.
