Hypertension

Hypertension or High Blood Pressure (HBP) is called a "silent killer". Most people with hypertension are unaware of the condition because it may have no warning signs or symptoms. Therefore, it is essential that blood pressure is measured regularly.
HBP is when the force of blood flowing through your blood vessels, is consistently too high.
The best way to know if you have HBP is to have your blood pressure checked.

A stroke happens when blood stops flowing to any part of your brain, damaging brain cells. The effects of a stroke depend on the part of the brain that was damaged and the amount of damage done.

It’s possible to keep yourself and your loved ones safe from a stroke. If you are above 40 and have hypertension, diabetes or a heart disease, visit certified Zindagi clinics to prevent your chances of stroke
