are so misunderstood.

And I arguably always say that high blood pressure is a symptom.
It is a downstream output.
to bad upstream inputs and we're so busy treating this downstream issue that we're not dealing with the upstreams right what what are the things that we can control i always control the controllables right like yeah what what can i control up here so that this doesn't happen and it's like well you didn't turn the faucet off but you just keep pouring towels on the floor and i i
Turn the faucet off.
Like there is an easy fix here.

Yeah.
Yeah.
And high blood pressure is symptomatic, but we've now called it a diagnosis.

This person is diagnosed hypertension.
Physicians are required to.
to, I mean, literally standard of care is you can be sued if a person comes in, has high blood pressure during your medical examination and you don't prescribe an antihypertensive.
