Hardly anyone notices a symptom of hypertension until it is detected during a routine health check-up. Why is high blood pressure so dangerous? Precisely because this silent disease slowly damages your arteries and it eventually manifest as a heart attack, stroke, or kidney failure. For this reason it is extremely important to identify and treat high blood pressure. Family history, smoking, excess alcohol, and obesity are some known risk factors for hypertension, though it can also affect those without these risk factors. Lifestyle changes and hypertension medications go a long way in preventing complications of hypertension.
