So let\'s talk about the hypertension equation...

When was the last time that you checked your blood pressure? Last week? Last month? 3 months ago?

A lot of us can\\u2019t even remember the last time we had our blood pressure checked. In fact, of the 1.3 billion adults worldwide who have high blood pressure, 46% don\\u2019t even have the slightest idea that their blood pressure is going through the roof.

That statistic alone is really alarming, given the fact that uncontrolled high blood pressure is a major contributing factor to the world\\u2019s leading cause of death for the past few decades.

That is why for this week\\u2019s Medicine Mondays, I will be talking to you about one of my all-time favorite topics\\u2014high blood pressure. Better pay attention, for we will not only be discussing what having uncontrolled high blood pressure means, but we will also touch on the topic of how to prevent it and what treatment options you have if you\\u2019re already diagnosed with it.

Why you need to check this episode:

• Learn what having uncontrolled high blood pressure does to your body and the other health issues that it brings along with it;
• Get a deep understanding of why high blood pressure has been deemed as \\u201cthe silent killer\\u201d; and
• Find out what you can do in order to avoid or treat high blood pressure

\\u201cThe reason why I go so hard on this topic is that it has always been dubbed as \\u2018the silent killer\\u2013the one that you don\\u2019t even know the damage it\\u2019s causing until the damage it\\u2019s caused has already been done.\\u201d\\u2013 Dr. Berry Pierre
