🌍 World Hypertension Day | 17 May 2025
Hypertension or high blood pressure is often called the “silent killer” because many people may not have symptoms until serious complications occur.
This World Hypertension Day, let us all take a simple but important step — check your blood pressure regularly.
✔ Eat healthy
✔ Stay physically active
✔ Reduce salt intake
✔ Avoid smoking and excess alcohol
✔ Take medicines regularly if prescribed
✔ Never miss your follow-up visits
Early detection and proper control can prevent heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, and heart failure.
Know your numbers. Protect your heart. ❤️
