𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲—𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸.

Based on the 2023 National Nutrition Survey (NNS), about 1 in 10 Filipino adults had elevated blood pressure. What makes this especially concerning is that many people do not even realize they have it until it is already affecting their health [Philippine Society of Hypertension (PSH)].

Most individuals with hypertension, also known as “high blood pressure,” do not experience noticeable symptoms. However, very high blood pressure can lead to warning signs like headaches, blurred vision, or chest pain. The only reliable way to know your blood pressure is to have it checked by a healthcare professional.

The good news is that small lifestyle changes can make a big difference. Eating a healthy, low-salt diet, staying physically active, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol intake can all help lower blood pressure and improve overall health.

This is why regular blood pressure monitoring by trained healthcare providers in community and local health facilities is essential. Early detection of hypertension allows for timely treatment and helps prevent serious complications in the future.

This May, the DOST-FNRI joins the International Society of Hypertension and the Department of Health in observing National Hypertension Awareness Month. It is a reminder for all of us to stay informed, take action, and support one another in addressing this growing health concern.

By working together and increasing access to blood pressure screening, we can take a big step toward reducing the impact of hypertension in our communities.
