Welcome to Medical Minute! 🩺

Meet Morgan, a 52-year-old teacher. He ignored the warning signs of high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. What started as fatigue and headaches led to something far more devastating—a hemorrhagic stroke requiring emergency brain surgery.

In this in-depth episode, we’ll explore:

💡 What you’ll learn:
✔️ The medical definition of hypertension (what numbers really mean)
✔️ Why blood pressure matters and how it damages the body silently
✔️ Risk factors: age, genetics, obesity, stress, smoking, alcohol, diet, and more
✔️ How hypertension is diagnosed (office readings vs ambulatory monitoring)
✔️ The pathophysiology: vessel stiffness, endothelial dysfunction, and strain on the heart
✔️ Organ damage explained:
– Heart (heart failure, heart attack)
– Brain (stroke, dementia)
– Kidneys (chronic kidney disease, dialysis)
– Eyes (hypertensive retinopathy)
✔️ Lifestyle modification: diet, salt restriction, exercise, weight loss, stress management
✔️ Treatment options: diuretics, ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, ARBs
✔️ Morgan’s tragic stroke – how uncontrolled hypertension leads to emergency neurosurgery
✔️ The road to recovery, rehabilitation, and dependence on others
✔️ Prevention strategies: early detection, medication adherence, and regular blood pressure checks

⚠️ Hypertension is called the Silent Killer for a reason. It may not cause symptoms—but left unchecked, it can destroy lives.
