Hypertension&nbsp;or high blood pressure is a serious medical condition that can silently&nbsp;cause damage to your body for years if it remains undetected. In this disorder, the inner lining of the arteries gets impaired which limits the flow of blood and oxygen throughout the body. According to World Health Organisation, this condition can result in chest pain, kidney damage, congestive heart failure and even increase the risk of stroke.
According to the&nbsp;USA&rsquo;s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/battling-moderate-hypertension-exercise-should-be-the-first-line-of-defence-1623301359859" target="_blank">hypertension</a> usually has no warning signs or symptoms, and many people do not realise they have it until the condition becomes very severe. When it becomes critical, symptoms like&nbsp;headache, nosebleed, fatigue and difficulty in breathing begin to surface.&nbsp;
<h3>What is the situation in India?</h3>
As&nbsp;per a study by the National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in the USA, one-third of urban Indian adults and close to one-fourth of rural Indian adults are hypertensive. Experts at the Family Planning Association of India (FPAI) have expressed concerns over the increasing incidence of this disorder.
<h3>What happens when a hypertensive patient gets COVID?</h3>

The observations concluded that COVID-19 patients with underlying hypertension have a poorer prognosis than those without hypertension.
