HYPERTENSION
The term "silent killer" refers to hypertension. It is possible for someone to have high blood pressure and not feel any symptoms. Additionally, the amount of the blood pressure rise may not be related to the symptoms. Some of the typical complaints among patients with high blood pressure are headaches, giddiness, irritability, and nausea.
