Every year, more than 727 000 lives are lost to su***de.

We aimed for a 33% reduction in deaths by 2030, but progress is just 12%.

This is a crisis. We must act with urgency, compassion & investment in su***de prevention.

Healthcare providers measure your blood pressure at your yearly check-ups and other appointments. This lets them see if it’s normal or too high. They’ll diagnose you with hypertension if your numbers are high at two separate visits (with at least two readings taken each time).

There are two main stages of hypertension:

Stage 1 means your top number is in the 130s, or your bottom number is in the 80s.

Stage 2 means your top number is 140 or higher, or your bottom number is 90 or higher.

On either end of these stages, there are other categories that providers use to guide treatment decisions:

🔴Elevated blood pressure is blood pressure that’s a bit above normal but not yet diagnosed as hypertension.

🔴Severe hypertension is dangerously high blood pressure that’s not yet causing organ damage.

🔴A hypertensive emergency is dangerously high blood pressure that’s damaging your organs. It causes symptoms and is a medical emergency.

It’s true that, in general, chest pain or discomfort is the “classic” — and most common — symptom of a heart attack. But how a heart attack feels can vary based on your s*x, age and underlying conditions, which means they can feel very different from person to person. The feelings also vary from mild to intense.

Too much of certain foods can make it harder for your liver to do its job. Over time, that may lead to inflammation, which in turn could cause cirrhosis. https://wb.md/40oUWKa
