Hypertension Awareness — Protect Your Heart
From Heart Solutions of Oklahoma
High blood pressure — also known as hypertension — is one of the most common and dangerous health conditions affecting adults in the United States. It often develops without any noticeable symptoms, which is why routine screening is so important.
Why High Blood Pressure Matters
Over time, uncontrolled blood pressure can lead to:
• Heart disease and heart failure
• Stroke
• Kidney damage
• Vision loss
• Cognitive decline
Even when you feel perfectly well, blood pressure may still be causing harm to your heart and arteries.
Know Your Numbers
• Normal: less than 120/80 mmHg
• High Blood Pressure: 135/85 mmHg or higher
A single elevated reading doesn’t always mean hypertension, but consistent high readings should be addressed by a healthcare professional.
What You Can Do
• Maintain a heart-healthy diet (lower sodium, more fruits/vegetables)
• Stay physically active — aim for at least 150 minutes per week
• Avoid smoking and limit alcohol
• Reduce stress where possible
• Take blood pressure medication exactly as prescribed
