Hypertension Treatment
By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD
Hypertension or high blood pressure is seldom detected early on in the course of the disease because the condition is usually free of symptoms. Hypertension is therefore often called the "silent killer." By time symptoms do arise, it is usually because the blood pressure has become high enough to cause damage to organs such as the kidneys or eyes. In many cases, high blood pressure is detected by chance on a routine visit to the doctor or other healthcare professional for unrelated reasons.
