Understanding the Silent Killer:
Hypertension is said to be the ‘silent killer’ since many a time it does not show any signs or symptoms and over time happen to be large enough to affect your health. In layman’s language, it is a condition whereby the force exerted by your circulation on your artery walls is too forceful. This may lead to complications since the arteries are also affected and gradually degrade over time.
