High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
उच्च रक्तचाप (हाई बीपी)
High blood pressure (hypertension) is when blood pushes too hard against artery walls (generally ≥140/90 on repeated readings). It usually has NO symptoms — the "silent killer" — but raises the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage over time. It is managed with diet (especially less salt), weight control, activity, and medicines. In women planning pregnancy, BP and medicines need review with a doctor.
