Hypertension
What is Hypertension?
Hypertension, also called high blood pressure, happens when the blood moves through our arteries at a higher pressure than normal. Controlling our blood pressure as quickly as possible is extremely important as the longer our blood pressure remains high, the more prone we are to heart diseases, strokes and heart attacks.
Types of Hypertensions:
- Primary Hypertension:

- Severe Headaches & Nosebleed
- Fatigue Or Confusion
