Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is when the force of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries is too high. It is a severe health condition that can significantly impact employees and employers. Health consequences of high blood pressure can include increased risks of heart attacks, stroke, and kidney disease. In addition, these conditions can lead to long-term work absences and severe life changes for employees.
If you have hypertension, it’s essential to manage it well; and if you’re unsure if you have hypertension, it’s always best to seek help from a licensed healthcare specialist.
In this webinar, we invited Dr. Monique Mendoza, Health Education, and Telemedicine Services Manager for Seafarer’s Clinic (Manila), to give us an overview of hypertension, including the causes, symptoms, and treatment. Also, discuss the importance of managing hypertension and the risks of not doing so.
