More than 9 million deaths each year are attributed to high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. It is a global health issue, with close to 1 in 3 adults suffering from the condition worldwide. Hypertension increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, heart failure, and aneurysms. In this video, we explore the causes of hypertension and discuss ways to manage and lower blood pressure.

First, we delve into the underlying conditions that contribute to high blood pressure. Many of these are related to artery health and how well blood vessels are able to dilate to increase blood flow. We also discuss the use of hypertensive medication and the potential side effects, including erectile dysfunction.

Next, we explore the link between hypertension and the metabolic syndrome, which is defined by abdominal obesity, high blood lipids, and insulin resistance. These conditions are closely related to life-threatening chronic diseases like heart disease, fatty liver disease, chronic kidney disease, and type 2 diabetes. We also discuss the ideal blood pressure range and the importance of regular check-ups to monitor and manage hypertension. Finally, we talk about lifestyle changes that can help lower blood pressure, including a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management.
