@zacksfever: Hypertension is a symptom. Underneath it is chronic stress, a poor diet, lack of exercise, poor sleep, insulin resistance. It’s a useful signal that is often silent. No warning at all. Till it’s too late. Your blood pressure may have been persistently high for past few weeks as you read this, and you wouldn’t know, till you get it checked. That is the first step. Being aware, then doing your best to address the lifestyle that usually drives it. Dr. Zack ✊🏾
