The whole book is a remarkable achievement, written, the authors are told, in a single term of residence at Magdalen, and the approach characteristically English-empirical, reasonable and tempered with humour and understanding.
Abstract
You can have high blood pressure, or hypertension, and still feel just fine. That's because high blood pressure does not cause signs of illness that you can see or feel. But, high blood pressure, sometimes called " the silent killer, " is a major health problem. If high blood pressure isn't controlled with lifestyle changes and medicine, it can lead to stroke, heart disease, eye problems, or kidney failure.
