🩺 #DidYouKnow?
Hypertension (high blood pressure) is often called the “silent killer” because many people do not experience symptoms until serious complications develop.

[Northern Cape Department of Health @nc_doh]

Unchecked high blood pressure can increase your risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and other health complications.

✅ Know your numbers
✅ Reduce salt intake
✅ Stay active
✅ Take medication as prescribed
✅ Go for regular health screenings
