What Is Hypertension?

Hypertension happens when the force of blood against the artery walls remains too high over time. Often called a “silent disease,” high blood pressure usually doesn’t cause noticeable symptoms until it has already impacted your health. That’s why routine blood pressure screenings are essential.

Common Risk Factors for High Blood Pressure

Anyone can develop hypertension, but certain factors increase your risk, including:

• Family history of hypertension or heart disease
• Being overweight or obese
• Lack of physical activity
• High-sodium or unhealthy diet
• Smoking or excessive alcohol use
• Chronic stress
• Age (risk increases as you get older)

Symptoms of Hypertension

Most people with hypertension do not experience obvious symptoms. In some cases, very high blood pressure may cause:

• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Chest pain
• Blurred vision
• Shortness of breath

If you notice these symptoms, it’s important to seek medical care right away.
