Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN)– High blood pressure is known as the “silent killer”, as many people suffer from this disease, without showing any symptoms at all.
The Gulf Health Council, through its official account on the “Instagram” website, advises that blood pressure should be measured at least once every two years, starting from the age of 18.
The blood pressure classes vary between normal, pre-morbid, high blood pressure, and severe high blood pressure.
