Millions of people around the world are living in conditions that could take their lives at any time. Not only that, but they themselves are unaware of the situation. This is revealed in a new study by The Legend. ‘Hypertension’ is a disease that is like a silent killer.
According to the study, more than half of people with hypertension have not been treated in the last 30 years. Which can be life threatening for such people.
High blood pressure is a common problem. It can be easily cured by treatment. But not understanding the disease and keeping it under control can be dangerous. Therefore, there is a risk of stroke, heart and kidney related diseases.
The global study assessed the blood pressure of more than 100 million people in 184 countries over the past three decades. Half of the world's people with hypertension are unaware of the disease. So more than half of the men and women treated despite knowing.
Majid Izzati, a professor at Imperial College London and author of the study, told The Sun that despite so much progress in health over the past few decades, managing hypertension is still very low. Most people with hypertension do not treat themselves.
"Our analysis shows that high-middle-income countries are more cautious about hypertension," says Professor Majid. These diseases are treated on time. This makes it possible to prevent high blood pressure, find it in the body and treat it. The dangers that arise from this.
The number of people living with hypertension worldwide has doubled in the last 30 years between the ages of 30 and 79. High blood pressure is called hypertension. This condition puts pressure on the nerves in the heart and body. This can lead to heart attacks and strokes.
Patients with high blood pressure have difficulty breathing. The heartbeat becomes irregular. Blood comes from the urine and there is a possibility of pain in the chest and ears. If you experience any of these symptoms, do not ignore them. Talk to your doctor immediately.
If you are over 65 years old. You are overweight. You reduce exercise. The family will already have a problem with blood pressure. So you are at higher risk of developing hypertension. Exercise, regular meals, weight loss can reduce the risk.
High blood pressure is killing millions of people worldwide. According to health experts, lowering blade pressure can reduce stroke by 35-40 percent, heart attack by 20-25 percent, and heart rate by about 50 percent.
