High Blood Pressure & Diabetes – The Silent Killers

Why These Two Conditions Are Dangerous Together

Both hypertension (high blood pressure) and diabetes often go undiagnosed. When combined, they can silently damage your arteries and lead to stroke, heart attack, or kidney failure.

How They Affect Your Heart:

• High Blood Pressure damages artery walls, making them stiff or narrow.

• Diabetes leads to high blood sugar, which affects blood vessels and nerves that control the heart.

Who Is at Risk?

• People over 40

• Those with family history

• Overweight individuals

• Smokers and alcohol users

What You Can Do:

• Monitor your BP and blood sugar regularly

• Reduce salt, sugar, and processed food intake

• Exercise 30 minutes a day

• Take prescribed medication seriously

📌 Conclusion: Don’t wait for a heart attack to be your first symptom. Take control now. Book your heart screening.
