High blood pressure, or hypertension, doesn’t usually come with obvious symptoms—but it can quietly damage your health over time. At Ready Health Private Medical Clinic in Standish, we regularly check and manage blood pressure to help our patients stay well and prevent serious problems.

What Is High Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure is the force of your blood pushing against your artery walls. When it’s too high for too long, it puts extra strain on your heart and blood vessels. This can raise your risk of:

Heart attack or stroke
Kidney disease
Vision problems

Silent Symptoms to Watch For

Most people with high blood pressure don’t feel any different. But some signs can include:

Headaches
Dizziness
Blurred vision
Nosebleeds (less common)

That’s why regular checks are so important.

What Causes High Blood Pressure?

There’s no single cause, but factors that raise your risk include:

A high-salt or fatty diet
Being overweight
Smoking or drinking too much alcohol
Stress and lack of sleep
Family history

How to Lower Your Risk

You can make a big difference with small changes:

Cut down on salt and processed foods
