Hypertension may seem trivial, but it's worth worrying about
Article Abstract:
Hypertension is perhaps the most common condition seen by physicians, with it estimated that one in five people suffer from high blood pressure, but it is a dangerous disease in that those afflicted with it rarely notice any symptoms. The most dangerous aspect of hypertension is that if left untreated over the years it can result in a higher risk of heart attacks or strokes. While the cause of hypertension is difficult to trace in 95 percent of the cases, the most important aspect for patients is to quit smoking, with a proper diet another important aspect of treatment. In most cases, businesspeople that are required to alter their lifestyles as a result of hypertension find the changes refreshing rather than burdensome.
