High Blood Pressure: The Silent Killer and Its Proper Management by Dr. Hasan Mamun

Did you know your high blood pressure is often a 'Silent Killer'? Many people mistakenly believe "tension" means "hypertension" or that a pressure of 120/80 is universally normal—a completely false notion. In this essential video, Prof. Dr. Shaikh Md. Hasan Mamun, Senior Consultant & Coordinator of Cardiology at Evercare Hospital Chattogram, clarifies the correct definition of high blood pressure and the normal range (100/60 to 140/90). The Danger: Uncontrolled high blood pressure silently damages the heart, kidneys, eyes, and brain, often leading to sudden complications like brain hemorrhage or stroke. Dr. Mamun emphasizes that blood pressure must be controlled even if you have no symptoms. The solution involves essential lifestyle changes (weight control, diet modification) and taking the correct medication as prescribed by a physician, as treatment needs vary for each patient. Prof. Dr. Mamun's expertise (FCPS, MD, MRCP, FRCP and over 18 years in Interventional & Non-Invasive Cardiology) ensures reliable, life-saving advice.
