Hypertension Hypertension, or high blood pressure , is often referred to as the “silent killer” because it typically shows no symptoms until it leads to more severe health issues. Regular blood pressure checks and lifestyle modifications, such as a heart-healthy diet and exercise, are essential for managing this risk.
