Hypertension is known as the silent killer because it often does not show noticeable symptoms until it has caused significant damage. Regular and consistent screening is critical! Once identified, the healthcare team helps individuals manage their hypertension through weight and stress management, adhering to low-sodium diets, increasing physical activity, and taking prescribed medications. Current estimates show that only about 1/4 of people with hypertension have their hypertension controlled.
