The Silent Killer: Understanding & Managing Hypertension
You can’t feel it. You can’t see it. But nearly 1.28 billion adults worldwide live with it. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is often called the “Silent Killer” because it damages your arteries, heart, and brain for years before you ever notice a symptom.
At Wnsfeild Pharmaceuticals, we believe that cardiovascular health is the foundation of a long life. Whether you are managing it with lifestyle changes or medication, understanding your numbers is the first step.
What Do the Numbers Mean?
When you measure your blood pressure, you get two numbers (e.g., 120/80 mmHg).
- Systolic (Top Number): The pressure in your arteries when your heart beats.
- Diastolic (Bottom Number): The pressure in your arteries when your heart rests between beats.
Ideally, you want to be below 120/80. If you are consistently above 140/90, you likely have hypertension. This puts immense strain on your heart, forcing it to work harder to pump blood, which can lead to heart attacks, strokes, and kidney failure.
The Role of Medication in Control
Lifestyle changes like reducing salt, exercising, and quitting smoking are vital. However, for many patients, genetics make medication necessary.
This is where pharmaceutical quality becomes critical. Anti-hypertensive drugs (like Amlodipine, Losartan, or Valsartan) must be taken daily, often for life. Because of this daily use, purity is non-negotiable.
At Wnsfeild, our cardiovascular medicines are manufactured with strict adherence to USP (United States Pharmacopeia) standards. We ensure:
- Uniform Dosage: Every tablet has the exact same amount of active ingredient.
- Low Impurities: We minimize by-products that can cause long-term side effects.
Living a Heart-Healthy Life
Managing hypertension is a marathon, not a sprint. We recommend the “ABC” approach:
- A – Active Living: Aim for 30 minutes of walking, five days a week.
- B – Blood Pressure Monitoring: Check your BP at home regularly, not just at the doctor’s office.
- C – Compliance: Take your medication at the same time every day. Missing doses causes your blood pressure to “spike,” which is dangerous.
Your heart beats 100,000 times a day. It deserves the best protection you can give it.
