                    [Summary] => Some 13 million Filipinos are suffering from hypertension but only half of them know about the illness, doctors from the Philippine Society of Hypertension (PSH) said yesterday.


"Hypertension can lead to various illnesses but it is oftentimes ignored or unnoticed. Less than 10 percent of hypertension cases are adequately treated or controlled," said Dr. Gregorio Patacsil Jr., former PSH president.
