WORLD HYPERTENSION DAY

Hypertension is called the “silent killer” for a reason.
Most people with high blood pressure feel completely fine. Ie; no pain, no warning signs, no symptoms. You will not feel it coming until it has already caused serious damage.

Many people are hypertensive today and don’t even know it.

Check your blood pressure regularly. Don’t wait until stroke, heart failure, kidney disease, or sudden collapse becomes the first sign.

Know your numbers. Early detection saves lives.

If you are already hypertensive:
👉🏻Take your medications exactly as prescribed
👉🏻Avoid salt intake
👉🏻Exercise regularly
👉🏻 Avoid smoking and alcohol
👉🏻Maintain a healthy weight
👉🏻Keep up with your clinic appointments and BP checks
👉🏻Stay close to your personal doctor you can call at anytime .

Your blood pressure may be silent, but the damage it causes is not.

Check your BP today. Encourage someone else to do the same. Stay safe!
