HYPERTENSION | E01 | PREMOR HEALTH SEGMENT

Описание: Hypertension is known as "the silent killer" because it often has no noticeable symptoms until significant damage has already been done to the body. Here's why this nickname fits:

1. No Early Warning Signs
Most people with high blood pressure feel completely fine, even when their blood pressure is dangerously high. This means it can go undetected for years, silently harming the body.

2. Damage Happens Quietly
While symptoms may be absent, hypertension can cause serious damage to vital organs over time, including:

Heart – leading to heart attacks, heart failure, or enlarged heart

Brain – increasing risk of stroke or cognitive decline

Kidneys – leading to kidney failure

Eyes – causing vision problems or blindness

3. Sudden Complications
Because it goes unnoticed, hypertension often reveals itself through a sudden and severe health crisis, like a stroke or heart attack—often when it's too late to prevent serious consequences.

4. Widespread and Underdiagnosed
Globally, millions live with undiagnosed hypertension. Without routine check-ups, many are unaware they're at risk.
