Hypertension, often referred to as high blood pressure, is one of the most common yet dangerously silent health conditions worldwide. At Ayush Heart & Wellness Care, we frequently see patients who are unaware they are living with elevated blood pressure—until complications arise. The reason? Hypertension rarely causes noticeable symptoms in its early stages, earning it the title of “the silent killer.”
Hypertension is a condition where the force of blood against your artery walls is consistently too high. Over time, this pressure can damage blood vessels and organs, leading to serious complications.
A normal blood pressure reading is below 120/80 mmHg. Readings consistently above 130/80 mmHg may indicate hypertension and require medical evaluation.
The real danger of hypertension lies in the fact that it can progress silently for years without causing symptoms. During this time, it continues to put excessive pressure on the heart, blood vessels, brain, kidneys, and eyes.
High blood pressure forces the heart to work harder to pump blood. Over time, this can lead to thickening of the heart muscle (left ventricular hypertrophy), eventually causing heart failure or triggering a heart attack due to narrowed coronary arteries.
One of the most devastating complications of untreated hypertension is a stroke. Elevated blood pressure can cause arteries to narrow, rupture, or leak, leading to an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. It also increases the chances of developing blood clots in the brain.
The kidneys rely on a network of blood vessels to filter waste from the blood. Hypertension can damage or weaken these vessels, potentially leading to chronic kidney disease or even kidney failure, which may require dialysis or transplantation.
High blood pressure can damage the delicate blood vessels in the eyes, resulting in hypertensive retinopathy, blurred vision, or even permanent vision loss in severe cases.
Hypertension has been linked to cognitive decline and conditions like vascular dementia due to reduced blood flow to the brain. Early control of blood pressure helps maintain brain health as we age.
At Ayush Heart & Wellness Care, we recommend annual blood pressure screenings for all adults, and more frequent checks for those with risk factors.
The good news is that hypertension is manageable—especially when caught early. Here are steps to reduce your risk:
