Hypertension is a condition when blood pressure is at 130/80 mmHg or more (Dasgupta & Zoccali, 2022.
Li et al.
, 2021.
Permata et al.
, 2.
Hypertension is also known as the "silent killer" because people with hypertension generally do not experience any symptoms until their blood pressure is too high and lifethreatening (Marjina et al.
, 2020.
Purnamasari & Meutia, 2023.
Shrestha et al.
, 2.
Some symptoms that may be felt by people with hypertension include headaches, heart palpitations, chest pain, anxiety, blurred vision, and easy fatigue.
Hypertension is divided into primary hypertension and secondary hypertension.
Primary hypertension has no known cause, while secondary hypertension can occur due to several factors, such as kidney disease, sleep apnea, and alcoholism (Mazhar et al.
, 2023.
Mirjat et al.
, 2020.
Sudano et al.
Treatment and prevention of hypertension can be done by living a healthy lifestyle, such as reducing salt intake, reducing alcohol consumption and fatty foods, and routinely checking blood pressure.
Rheumatism is an inflammatory condition in the joints due to autoimmune conditions, which is when the immune system turns to attack the joints of the body (Kondo et al.
, 2.
Rheumatism can cause damage to other organs, such as the heart, lungs, nervous system, kidneys, skin, and eyes.
Some symptoms that may be felt by rheumatic sufferers include pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints, fever, weakness, tightness, eye inflammation, and difficulty walking, bending, or standing.
Rheumatism can increase the risk of problems with the heart, arteries, and inflammation of the sac that wraps the heart (Archana & Vinay, 2020.
Hysa et al.
, 2021.
Le & Kwon, 2.
