Omron Healthcare and The Philippine Society of Hypertension initiates 'BPrecise' Awareness Campaign

More and more Filipinos are suffering from hypertension without them knowing it

It’s easy to know you’re sick when you have the signs or symptoms. But when your illness is asymptomatic (where you'll just wake up one day and find out you're sick without any warning), that can be very alarming. 

Omron launches BPrecise campaign with the Philippine Society of Hypertension

Most hypertensive patients have no symptoms. The known symptoms of hypertension like headache, dizziness, nape pain, and blurring of vision are non-specific and could be due to other causes. The best way to find out is to have one’s blood pressure taken. It's very easy to do and it only takes a few minutes to do it. 

Unfortunately, perhaps due to the Filipino diet, based on the national survey released by the Department of Health in 2017, the total number of hypertensive Filipinos is now more than 12 million, with more than half of them are unaware of their condition. Roughly, that is one out of four to five Filipinos in general.
