Why you should be careful of hypertension

Normally, a person’s blood pressure can vary throughout the day depending on factors such as activity and mood;

known as an even deadlier disease than cancer, hypertension can be dangerous with the various life-threatening complications it can cause.

Uncontrolled high blood pressure in the long term can affect organs such as the heart, brain and kidneys, leading to complications such as

· Stroke

· Coronary heart disease

· Heart failure

· Renal failure

· Vision loss

· Dementia

Hypertension is one of the main risk factors of cardiovascular diseases-Malaysia’s leading cause of death as it can damage the endothelium, leading to atherosclerosis, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
