According to recent studies, nearly one in three U.S. adults have high blood pressure. Many times there are no obvious symptoms of high blood pressure so nearly one-third of these people do not know they have it. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to:
- Stroke
- Heart attack
- Heart failure
- Kidney failure
High blood pressure is often called the "silent killer," since people usually do not know they have it until something fatal such as a stroke, heart attack or kidney failure occurs. The only way to know for sure if you have high blood pressure is to have it checked regularly.
