Hypertension is a major cause of premature death worldwide. Here’s how to know if you have high blood pressure and how to manage or reduce its impact.
Nearly half of American adults have high blood pressure, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Hypertension, another word for high blood pressure, is a major contributing factor to heart disease and stroke, which are leading causes of death worldwide. In the US, 1 in 5 adults with hypertension don’t know that they have it.
In addition to taking medications, patients diagnosed with high blood pressure are recommended to change aspects of their lifestyle that elevate their blood pressure. These are similar lifestyle changes people can also use as preventive measures, meaning that they can prevent hypertension in those who aren’t yet diagnosed with it.
