Abstract
The advancement in information technology is the need of time, and its importance cannot be ignored. People can do online shopping, pay bills, and buy groceries in just a few minutes. Lifestyle patterns and mentalities of people have also changed. People are fascinated by information technology, but it cannot deny the importance of health-related issues. From past to current time, the rate of hypertension has greatly increased. It is reported that by 2050 there will be one quarter of people affected with hypertension. Hypertension is not just a disease, but it may cause several other diseases like cardiovascular disease and renal disorder. There are several risk factors for hypertension including lifestyle, age, marital status, employment, cardiovascular (CV) complications, obesity, work history, and physical activity. The people demand ease from the developing world with little activity; they should also increase physical activity. Proper diagnosis of hypertension and taking proper treatment steps can reduce its prevalence.
