Understanding High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is often called the “silent killer” because it usually has no symptoms. Left untreated, it can lead to heart attacks, strokes, and other serious health problems. Our Silibin team is committed to early detection and effective management.
Blood Pressure Categories
Understanding your numbers helps you take control:
- Normal: Less than 120/80

- Stage 1: Top 130-139 or bottom 80-89
- Stage 2: Top 140 or higher, or bottom 90 or higher
- Crisis: Over 180/120 – requires immediate medical attention
