High blood pressure is both the most prevalent and the most preventable disease among adults. Its prevalence among adults is the best indicator of how high the stress level has becoming in our modern, competitive society. Worse, high blood pressure is becoming a problem for the teenage population, which means that it will only be more prevalent in the Future.
Hypertension - The Silent KillerHigh blood pressure, or hypertension, is called the "silent killer" because its symptoms are so mild and usually develop so slowly that most people don't know they have it until a doctor tells them.
People with hypertension seldom experience all these symptoms, and many never have any. In addition, symptoms can be so mild or start so slowly that a person becomes accustomed to them. After all, who hasn’t had a headache or a nosebleed? Been dizzy? Felt depressed? This is what makes hypertension such an insidious disease.
