Would you know if you had a ‘silent killer’? Untreated, these conditions could cause long-term damage

Diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure) and cholesterol are known as "silent killers". 

It's common for people to have these chronic conditions without experiencing notable symptoms at first, which is why regular screening is so important.

According to Medipost Pharmacy, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol can cause damage to the body. And even though they can occur individually, these conditions are often linked and could increase the chances of stroke, heart attack and premature death.
