World Hypertension Day– 17th May 2019

Hypertension is really a common problem that almost everyone has. With our hectic schedules in everyday life, the majority of us is bogged down with work pressure that actually causes hypertension. But getting over stress and hypertension is not at all good for our health. Thus, every year the World Hypertension League celebrates World Hypertension Day on 17th May aiming to create awareness among people because extreme tension causes many health issues which are life-threatening. It causes heart attacks, stroke, kidney related disease and it affects our mental health. Hypertension eventually can develop dementia. People sometimes do not even realize that they are suffering from hypertension. World Hypertension League is the main organization that organizes a total of 85 hypertension societies as well as leagues from all around the world. This year the main theme of World Hypertension Day is ‘Know your numbers’.  World Hypertension League has decided to engage more people and these new initiatives have included different countries around the world. You can measure your blood pressure based at the venues selected or organized by the World Hypertension League. So come forward and let’s celebrate this 17th May 2019 a tension-free ‘World Hypertension Day’.
