This day aims to raise awareness about hypertension and the need to take preventive and detection methods. A systolic blood pressure that is regularly above 140 mm Hg and\/or diastolic blood pressure that is consistently above 90 mm Hg is referred to as high blood pressure or hypertension. It is also the leading cause of heart disease, stroke, kidney problems, and early mortality. In most cases, high blood pressure on its own has no symptoms.

To avoid hypertension, World Hypertension Day serves as a reminder to periodically check our blood pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.
