High blood pressure is a common problem that can cause many health risks. The causes of high blood pressure are not always clear. High blood pressure often goes undetected for many years, increasing a person’s risk for heart disease and stroke. It is important to regularly check your blood pressure with a simple home monitor or at a medical clinic to detect problems early. By detecting high blood pressure early, you have time to reduce your risk of serious health problems from high blood pressure.

High blood pressure is a common problem that can cause many health risks. If left untreated, high blood pressure may lead to heart disease and stroke. It also increases your risk of kidney damage, vision loss and even death if it's not treated properly.
High blood pressure (hypertension) is defined as a reading of 140/90 millimeters of mercury or higher on two separate readings taken within the same hour after sitting for five minutes at least once every 24 hours.1 A person who has had their systolic pressure over 160 mmHg consistently for at least three months should be evaluated by their doctor before taking any medication; however, they can treat milder cases without medical supervision with lifestyle changes like losing weight or quitting smoking cigarettes

High blood pressure is a common problem. However, the causes of high blood pressure are not always clear.
- High blood pressure can be caused by many factors and may have several different causes. For example, it’s possible that genetics play a role in causing hypertension (high blood pressure).
- Lifestyle choices such as smoking cigarettes or drinking alcohol may also be associated with an increased risk for developing this condition over time.
- Other lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise also affect your body's response to stress—and this can increase your level of stress hormones like cortisol which then leads to an increase in heart rate variability (HRV), which further increases your chances of developing heart disease over time.*
High blood pressure is often called “the silent killer” because there may be no warning signs or symptoms and you may not feel it.
High blood pressure is often called “the silent killer” because there may be no warning signs or symptoms and you may not feel it. However, high blood pressure can cause many other health problems such as heart disease and stroke. If you have high blood pressure, you should talk with your doctor to see if they recommend any treatment options before they become worse than what they are now.
If you think that your blood pressure has gotten too high and/or if it causes any discomfort in your body (such as headaches), then it's important to get it checked out by a medical professional right away! You should also try adjusting your lifestyle habits so that this does not continue happening on its own: exercise regularly; reduce salt intake; eat more fruits & vegetables; drink plenty of water daily (at least 8 glasses); take medications only when prescribed by doctors after consulting with them first about their potential side effects (e., dizziness).
When you have high blood pressure, the force of blood flow against the artery walls is higher than normal and that can damage your arteries over time.
High blood pressure is when the force of blood flow against a vessel wall is higher than normal. This can damage your arteries over time, leading to atherosclerosis (narrowing). When this happens, your heart has to work harder to pump enough oxygen-rich blood throughout your body. The harder it has to work, the more stress you put on it and ultimately cause heart disease or stroke (more on these conditions below).
High blood pressure isn't just about high heart rates; it also increases risk for complications like kidney disease and other forms of cardiovascular disease such as coronary artery disease (CAD) and peripheral vascular disease (PVD).
High blood pressure usually causes no symptoms and high blood pressure often goes undetected for many years, increasing a person’s risk for heart disease and stroke.
You may not have any symptoms of high blood pressure, but that doesn't mean you can’t be at risk for heart disease and stroke. High blood pressure is a serious condition that increases your risk for heart failure, kidney failure and death. The good news is that there are many things you can do to help lower your chances of developing this condition.
High blood pressure causes no symptoms until it reaches critical levels – when the body cannot regulate its own internal pressure anymore and begins to fail organs like the brain or kidneys due to lack of oxygen supply (hypoxia). Most people with pre-existing conditions such as diabetes will already be able to feel when they develop high blood pressure because their headaches get worse or they start feeling dizzy more often than usual

Regularly checking your blood pressure with a simple home monitor or at a medical clinic to detect problems early is important.
You should have your blood pressure checked by an experienced healthcare provider once per year, especially if you are over the age of 40. If you have high blood pressure, it's even more important to check it regularly so that you can take steps to reduce your risk for developing heart disease and stroke if needed.
By detecting high blood pressure early, you have time to reduce your risk of serious health problems from high blood pressure.
High blood pressure is a serious problem that can cause heart disease, strokes and kidney problems. If left untreated, high blood pressure can lead to heart attack or stroke.
If you have high blood pressure and are not treated properly, it's likely that you will experience more than just short-term symptoms such as fatigue or muscle aches; some people may develop chronic health problems as well.
Using a home monitor or home blood pressure cuff allows you to monitor your own levels of hypertension (high blood pressure). You can also get regular checkups with your doctor so they can see how much better your numbers are getting over time—and whether other risk factors are contributing to the problem.
Conclusion
High blood pressure is a serious condition and if left untreated, it can lead to heart disease, stroke and kidney failure. High blood pressure can affect anyone at any age, but it most commonly occurs in people who are older than 50 or with diabetes or other conditions that cause insulin resistance like obesity or high cholesterol levels. Early detection of high blood pressure is critical to preventing these complications from developing later on. The good news is there are many ways you can prevent and/or treat high blood pressure without having surgery or taking prescription medications that come with side effects such as dizziness or headache (e.g., diet modification).
