The Silent Killer: High Blood Pressure

When was the last time you checked your blood pressure? Not last year. Not “I think it’s okay.” Actually checked. This episode was prompted by a moment that made me pause. Someone seemed okay one minute… and then they weren’t. So let’s talk about hypertension — the silent killer. What does high blood pressure actually do to the body? Why does control matter more than just diagnosis? And what does research say about preventing stroke, heart attack, and sudden cardiac events? If you or someone you love has high blood pressure, this conversation matters. Know your numbers. Protect your heart.

Just research, context, and calm conversation.
