Hypertension Advocacy

Hypertension means that you have high blood pressure. High blood pressure puts you at risk of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. Hypertension has no symptoms and is often called the "silent killer." Hypertension can be caused by lack of physical activity, obesity, and diabetes. The only way to diagnose high blood pressure is to have your doctor measure it. Making lifestyle changes such as not smoking, eating healthily, managing stress, and increasing activity, can help to lower your blood pressure. You doctor may prescribe medication to help control your hypertension.
