What symptom is commonly associated with hypertension?
Correct Incorrect Hypertension is often termed the "silent killer" because it usually presents with no overt symptoms despite causing progressive damage to vital organs. Many individuals with elevated blood pressure remain asymptomatic for years, while underlying vascular and cardiac changes continue silently. If left undiagnosed or untreated, hypertension increases the risk of life-threatening events such as heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, and aneurysms. This asymptomatic nature underscores the importance of routine blood pressure screening and early intervention in clinical practice to prevent long-term complications.
