What Is Hypertension?

Hypertension, also referred to as high blood pressure, is categorized as having blood pressure above 140/90. Hypertension is considered severe if the pressure is above 180/120. Unlike many health concerns, hypertension typically has no symptoms and can be a chronic condition.

Helping Veterans With Hypertension Throughout Georgia & Nationwide

Of all the many illnesses caused by Agent Orange, hypertension (also known as high blood pressure) is one that may soon become a presumptive condition. Studies have shown to determine the relationship between exposure to Agent Orange and hypertension.

While these studies support a connection, the Secretary has yet to find that hypertension is presumptively linked to Agent Orange exposure. This does not mean that such a case will not be successful, however, additional supporting medical evidence is still currently needed to provide a link.
