What Every Adult Must Know About Blood Pressure

High blood pressure (hypertension) is one of the most common health conditions today. In India, nearly 1 in 3 adults is affected, and many people are unaware they have it.

Blood pressure above 140/90 mmHg is considered high. Over time, it can silently damage the heart, brain, and kidneys without showing clear symptoms.

Most people do not experience symptoms, but some may notice headaches, dizziness, chest discomfort, or blurred vision. Because signs are often absent, regular monitoring becomes very important.

Common causes include stress, high salt intake, obesity, lack of physical activity, and family history. Lifestyle plays a major role in both the development and control of hypertension.

Simple changes can help manage blood pressure effectively—reducing salt, maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, proper sleep, and avoiding smoking.

If left uncontrolled, high BP can lead to serious complications like heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure.
