Dear Concerned Health Alerts Reader, High blood pressure gives few or no warning signs before it erupts with major complications, such as a stroke. That's why it's often referred to as "the silent killer." If you have high blood pressure, (medically known as hypertension), you have one of the most common, yet serious disorders in the United States. Hypertension affects more than 72 million Americans and is the most important risk factor for a stroke. Stroke is the third leading cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the United States. Over the course of time, high blood pressure can take a major toll on your health. It can damage both large and small arteries, leading to strokes. High blood pressure can also lead to diseases of the heart, kidneys, and eyes, and even erectile dysfunction. Fortunately, by controlling your blood pressure, you can help prevent or slow the progression of many of these hypertension complications.
