‘Hypertension affecting more youngsters due to stress, erratic lifestyle’

Dr Pandian added, “We see a lot of patients in the 25-28 age group with hypertension and the main reason for it is erratic lifestyle. They usually have idiopathic hypertension or Essential HT, which is also known as Primary Hypertension. Hypertension is something most people ignore, especially the youth as they often claim it to be often a condition of the old age. Also, the silent killer has no indicators and could strike at any moment.”
