Thanks for your thoughts Tsumomo.

I think so and studies have shown it to be so.

This is because Hypertension has no symptoms, we can detect it earlier by regular checks.

In my country for example, many have come down with strokes and heart attacks because of uncontrolled hypertension.

Firstly, Education is the most important. People need to know the what and the why. It is surprising that there aren’t as many campaigns for hypertension awareness as there are for less deadly conditions.

The number of disabilities and deaths arising from hypertension is very alarming particularly in my own part of the world.

That’s why I’ve chosen to spread awareness about this, hopefully by talking about it often, we could detect it earlier and enforce lifestyle or medical therapy in time.
