Warnings against Ignoring High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is a health condition that requires special attention, as it causes the heart to strain and work harder.
Dr. Ernst von Schwarz, cardiologist and author of the book “The Secrets of Immortality”, warned that the most dangerous thing high blood pressure patients can do is to not take their condition seriously.
He pointed out that many tend to underestimate the issue because it does not cause immediate pain, which has earned it the nickname “silent killer” due to its harmful effects on the heart, blood vessels, brain, and kidneys if left untreated.
