High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a sneaky disease that can have a devastating effect on your mind and body, causing health problems closely related to the heart, cardiovascular system, as well as other organs such as the liver and kidneys. It is ranked as one of the main causes of death worldwide – and is no respecter of age.
