Do you know if you have high blood pressure? Experts warn that high blood pressure, often symptomless, is a major cause of heart and kidney diseases. A man ignored his hypertension for 5 years until he developed heart failure and kidney disease, leading to a life-threatening situation. With modern lifestyles contributing to an increase in hypertension cases, early prevention and management are crucial to avoid serious complications. The Taiwan Hypertension Society promotes the '3 Pillars' for blood pressure management: measuring at home, maintaining levels below 130/80, and following a 7-2-2 routine to ensure accurate readings. Lifestyle changes like exercise, smoking cessation, balanced diet, weight control, and moderate alcohol intake are also advised for blood pressure control alongside medications that protect the heart and kidneys.
