Why is high blood pressure known as "the silent killer"?

in mrmed •  last year 

High blood pressure, often referred to as "the silent killer," earns its name because it typically shows no noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Many individuals with hypertension are unaware of their condition, and this lack of apparent symptoms can be deceptive. However, if left uncontrolled, hypertension can lead to severe health issues, including heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems. Regular blood pressure monitoring and a healthy lifestyle are essential for early detection and management of this silent but potentially dangerous condition.
