High Blood Pressure "HYPERTENSION" is a very common disease (~30%) of the population has it however so many undermined its detrimental effects. Hypertension IS A SILENT KILLER! patients need to take it seriously and get the right management. Normal blood pressure should be "120/80" any thing above that isn't normal and should be evaluated by a specialist (Cardiologist). High blood pressure is the culprit for kidney disease, eye disease, heart failure, and stroke.
