❤️ Know the Signs of High Blood Pressure ❤️

High blood pressure (hypertension) is often called the “silent condition” because many people don’t notice symptoms until serious damage has already occurred.

⚠️ But sometimes, your body does give warning signs—and they shouldn’t be ignored.

Being aware of these signs can help you seek care early and lower your risk of serious health complications.

💡 Don’t wait for symptoms—regular blood pressure checks can make all the difference!

The Harrison County Health Department does have blood pressure kiosks at the Bethany Community Gym, Bethany Senior Center, and here at the Health Dept.
