Hypertension
Hypertension, commonly known as "high blood pressure", is a condition in which the pressure exerted in the arteries is excessive leading to arterial damage to all organs. Hypertension develops slowly over the years and doesn't exhibit any symptoms until a major event like a stroke, heart attack or heart failure occurs. Less extreme cases may experience pounding headaches and blurry vision. Frequent screening is the key to the early detection of hypertension.
