What is Hypertension?
Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a chronic medical condition in which the force of blood against the artery walls is consistently too high. Left unmanaged, it can lead to serious health complications such as heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and vision loss. Often called the “silent killer,” hypertension may not present obvious symptoms until significant damage has occurred.
Normal blood pressure levels fall within a range of 90/60 mmHg to 130/80 mmHg. When these numbers rise consistently above 140/90 mmHg, it’s classified as hypertension. At Orchid Clinic, we emphasize early diagnosis and comprehensive management to ensure long-term heart and vascular health for our patients.
The Importance of Early Detection and Treatment
The key to managing hypertension is early detection and consistent treatment. High blood pressure can often go unnoticed until it’s too late, which is why regular check-ups are important. Symptoms may be mild or absent, but over time, the strain on your heart and arteries can cause permanent damage.
