Blood Pressure
What Is High Blood Pressure?
High blood pressure is often called "the silent killer" because it
usually has no symptoms. Occasionally, headaches may occur. Some
people may not find out they have high blood pressure until they
have trouble with their heart, kidneys, or eyes. When high blood
pressure is not diagnosed and treated, it can lead to other
life-threatening conditions, including heart attack, heart failure,
stroke, and kidney failure. It can also lead to vision changes or
blindness.
