"In Bangladesh, hypertension, sometimes referred to as hypertension, has become a serious public health concern that is having a considerable negative impact on the nation’s ability to prosper economically. Bangladesh’s expanding economy has advanced significantly in many areas during the past few decades. Concerns have been expressed concerning the influence of hypertension on the nation’s overall wellbeing due to its rising prevalence. This study examines the complex nature of Bangladesh’s hypertension epidemic, considering both economic and medical factors. This study mainly based on secondary data, using the narrative review paper as a guide, observed at the epidemiological trends of hypertension in Bangladesh, emphasizing its upward tendency across all age groups and socio-economic classes. After that, saw at the financial effects of hypertension, including the direct expenses of medical care and treatment as well as the indirect costs of decreased productivity and higher mortality. This financial burden may impede a nation’s efforts to achieve sustainable development. Additionally, investigate the determinants of hypertension in Bangladesh, taking into consideration dietary practices, genetic predisposition, lifestyle factors, and access to medical treatment. The important factors influencing the prevalence of hypertension are also explored, including socio-economic inequalities and urban-rural divisions. Designing successful interventions and policies requires an understanding of these drivers. Finally, communicated about possible methods for lowering the prevalence of hypertension in Bangladesh, highlighting the need of early detection, prevention, and health promotion. The study’s findings indicated that Bangladesh’s economic progress is hampered by hypertension. As we support expanding economic development, the importance of governmental policies, healthcare infrastructure, and public awareness campaigns in tackling these developing health concerns was taken into consideration. The study will underline how urgent it is to address high blood pressure as a significant impediment to Bangladesh’s economic development. This study intends to offer insights that help guide evidence-based policies and initiatives to enhance the country’s economic and health well-being by thoroughly examining the sources and effects of this understanding"
