High Blood Pressure, or hypertension, is referred to as a “silent killer” because it can be deadly, but in the early stages is usually without noticeable symptoms. A diagnosis of hypertension is usually “incidental” and made through a blood pressure reading by a health care practitioner. Hypertension can lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, kidney disease, stroke and heart attack.
