00:00What if a silent condition was damaging your heart right now, and you had no idea?
00:04That's the terrifying truth about high blood pressure.
00:07One in three people in the UK have it.
00:10But nearly half don't even know what it is.
00:12It's called hypertension, and it's one of the leading causes of heart attacks, strokes, and even dementia.
00:18The scariest part? It shows no symptoms.
00:21So you could be living with it for years, until it causes serious damage.
00:25Over 5 million Brits are believed to have undiagnosed high blood pressure.
00:30And nearly 1 to 70,000 young people aged 16 to 24 are walking around with it, unaware.
00:36Many think they'd feel it if something was wrong.
00:38But that's the myth.
00:40The truth? You have to check your numbers to protect your health.
00:43The good news? Caught early, it's treatable.
00:46Simple lifestyle changes like eating better, quitting smoking, and cutting back on alcohol can make a big difference.
00:52So don't wait for symptoms. Know your numbers and take back control.
