High blood pressure has no symptoms. That is what makes it dangerous. While you feel completely normal, the extra force is scarring your arteries, straining your heart, and preparing the ground for stroke, heart attack, and kidney failure. By the time you notice something wrong, decades of damage have accumulated. This book explains hypertension in plain language. You will learn how blood pressure actually works, why the numbers matter, and what they mean for different ages and conditions. You will understand the lifestyle factors that raise and lower pressure, and why medication, when needed, is not a failure but a tool. The Quiet Pressure is not meant to scare you into obsession. It is meant to translate a abstract number into concrete understanding. When you know what is happening inside your vessels, you make better decisions at the dinner table, the gym, and the pharmacy. The threat is silent. Your response does not have to be.
