About Hypertension
Understand it. Then act on it.
Hypertension affects nearly half of adults and is the leading modifiable risk factor for heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease. Most people feel nothing — that's why measurement and early action matter.
- Often silent — no symptoms at all
- Headaches (typically with very high BP)
- Shortness of breath on exertion
- Vision changes
- Nosebleeds
- Chest discomfort

FAQ
Questions, answered
What BP is considered high?
Per ACC/AHA: ≥130/80 mmHg is Stage 1 hypertension; ≥140/90 is Stage 2. Confirm with multiple readings.
Do I need medication if my BP is borderline?
Lifestyle change is usually first-line for Stage 1 without high cardiovascular risk. Your doctor weighs total risk.
How accurate are home monitors?
Validated upper-arm cuffs are reliable. Avoid wrist or finger devices for clinical decisions.
