Many people assume that serious health problems develop suddenly, but in reality, they often build up quietly over months or even years. In a recent Instagram video, heart surgeon Dr Jeremy London warned against this tendency to become too comfortable with the status quo. It can truly be a silent killer, and the scary thing is how comfortable this place can be. Similarly, mildly abnormal blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, kidney function, or ECG findings are often ignored if they are not causing immediate discomfort. Dr Chaudhary states, “Equally important are ‘silent’ abnormalities such as elevated blood pressure, high LDL cholesterol, elevated blood sugar, declining kidney function, or abnormal heart rhythm detected during routine examinations.
