The only way of knowing that you have hypertension is to have your blood pressure checked on a regular basis. If high blood pressure is not treated it can lead to serious health problems. You may feel fine and have no symptoms, but eventually hypertension can cause stroke, heart disease and kidney failure. ZINOPRIL helps to lower your blood pressure.

Heart failure is not the same as heart attack and does not mean that the heart stops working.
