“Measure Your Blood Pressure Accurately, Control It, Live Longer.”
Hypertension or high blood pressure is often called a silent killer because it may not cause symptoms until serious damage occurs.
Unchecked hypertension can damage:
Brain → Stroke
Heart → Heart attack & heart failure
Kidneys → Kidney failure
Eyes → Vision loss
Simple steps to control blood pressure:
âś… Reduce salt intake
âś… Exercise regularly
âś… Maintain healthy weight
âś… Stop smoking & limit alcohol
âś… Sleep adequately
âś… Take medicines regularly
âś… Check BP routinely
Remember:
A normal BP check today can prevent a major illness tomorrow.
