JAKARTA - Holiday moments such as the Lebaran holiday often make people careless in maintaining their health. This happens because most people during Eid undergo unhealthy eating patterns and lack physical activity.

Thus, the risk of disease eventually increases, one of which is hypertension or high blood pressure. One of the triggers for hypertension is the consumption of unhealthy foods rich in fat and salt, which are often served in typical Eid.

The risk of hypertension after Lebaran must be watched out for because it often appears without realizing it, so it is called the 'silent killer'. If neglected, hypertension can trigger other diseases, such as kidney disease, heart attacks, and strokes, quoted from the Cleveland Clinic, on Monday, April 7, 2025.

Most people with hypertension do not feel any symptoms or signs. The only most accurate way to check someone with hypertension is to do a blood pressure check.

A person with hypertension has blood pressure at 90/60 mmHg. The official WHO website, states that very high blood pressure can reach 180/120 mmHg.

If the blood pressure is quite high, then various signs can arise that should be watched out for, as below.

- Severe headache

- Chest pain

- Dizzy

- Difficulty breathing

- Nausea

- Vomit

- Running vision

- Anxiety

- Your ears

- Mimisan

- Heart rhythm is not normal

If you have often experienced these signs, immediately go to the hospital. Early detection is very useful in order to prevent the risk of other diseases, and get the right medication, because it should be noted that hypertension can only be treated by taking medication prescribed by doctors regularly.
