Most people imagine that a serious illness “shows itself.” That it hurts, gives warnings, or sends clear signals.
High blood pressure completely breaks that idea.
In most cases, it causes no obvious symptoms. It doesn’t hurt. It doesn’t bother you. It doesn’t immediately interfere with daily life. And precisely for that reason, it can progress for years without being detected, causing silent damage to vital organs such as the heart, brain, kidneys, and blood vessels.
