In this, blood pressure remains more in the artery. Gradually it can harm the heart, brain, kidney and eyes.

According to Dr. Pawan Poddar, the biggest problem is that high BP does not show any symptoms in the beginning. For this reason, it is called ‘Silent Killer’.

Many people live with high BP for years and they do not even know. This disease is caught by investigation.

Sometimes it also gives light-hearted signs, such as chest pain, sharp headache, blurred appearance, shortness of breath or confusion.

If BP goes above 180/120 mmhg, then it is hypertensive chrysis. In such a situation it is necessary to go to the doctor immediately.

Those who are more at risk include more salt, obese people, tobacco-liquor drinkers and holders of BP in the family.

To avoid high BP, exercise 30 minutes daily, keep weight control, eat less salt and distance away from oily-processed food.
