Prevention and Management of Hypertension

Hypertension refers to a condition where the pressure of the blood flowing through the body is consistently high. This condition is often called the \"silent killer\" because, if left untreated, it can lead to serious health problems such as heart disease and stroke.

Blood pressure is measured using two numbers: systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. Systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart pumps blood through the body, while diastolic pressure is the pressure when the heart relaxes between beats to take in blood. Generally, hypertension is diagnosed when systolic pressure is 130 or higher, or diastolic pressure is 80 or higher.

Treatment for hypertension involves two approaches: lifestyle changes and medication. Lifestyle improvements, such as following a healthy diet, engaging in regular exercise, limiting salt intake, and managing stress, can help lower blood pressure. If these measures do not lower blood pressure adequately, medication may be prescribed under the guidance of a physician.
