Welcome to the high blood pressure guide. This condition (HBP) is also known as hypertension. On this website, I will use these terms interchangeably.

• Are you suffering from hypertension?
• Does your relative, close friend or co-worker have hypertension?
• Are you doing research on HBP?
• Maybe you want to prevent this disease?

If you have answered yes to one of the above questions, this is the guide for you. My knowledge and experience will provide the motivation and knowledge that you need to achieve your goal. Your goal could be to prevent or get yourself treated of hypertension.

Motivation, positive attitude, patience and knowledge, are all required to have your HBP cured. My mission and goal is to guide and help you clear any confusion or questions you may have.

Why talk about hypertension?

• HBP is a major risk factor for heart diseases, stroke, kidney failure, heart failure and coronary heart disease.
• Heart disease and stroke combined are the leading cause of death in developed countries.
• HBP is a silent killer. This means you may never know that you have hypertension till your doctor measures your BP.

In this guide I will talk about all the causes, symptoms, signs, effects, prevention and treatment of this disease. I will also talk about how a healthy lifestyle, exercising, losing weight and eating healthy can effectively help to prevent and treat HBP. Watch this video;

Did you know.....?

• 26% of the world population has HBP.
• Its estimated that this figure will rise to 29% in 2025
• 1 in 2 people over the age of 60 has this disease
• 70% of those who are 70 years and above have high blood pressure
• China and India have well below averages, with only 17% of males and 14% of female adults are affected.

Canada:

• In 2010, 19% of the adult population have HBP. 20% are pre-hypertensive. Of those who are 60 years an older, 53% have are affected and 24% are pre-hypertensive.

As you have just read, high blood pressure is one of the leading cause of death worldwide. The main reason being in the early stages of this disease, no one can tell they have it unless blood pressure is measured. Many people will leave with this condition for many years without knowing it and this will cause many effects I will discuss on this site.

My goal is to explain high blood pressure in a way that most people will understand. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or you can submit your questions below each page and I will help you in the best way I can. Feel free to share with your friends if you find this site helpful. Wish you the best.

Thank you for visiting this guide.
