Hypertension

Hypertension, which is referred to as high blood pressure, is a common condition in which the arteries have constant high blood pressure.  The Blood pressure is basically the force that is pushing up against the vessel walls of blood.

Each time the heart beats, it pushes the blood to the whole body via arteries. The more high the pressure, the tougher the heart has to pump.

Hypertension is a disease which can further lead to damaged organs and various illnesses that include heart failure or stroke. The normal consistent blood pressure level should be 120/80, where 120 signifies systolic pressure (the highest pressure in arteries) whereas 80 symbolizes diastolic (the minimum pressure in the arteries). However, if the blood pressure exceeds from 80/120 to 139/89, then it is called pre-hypertension. If it reaches to 140/90 or more than that, it is considered as high blood pressure or Hypertension.

There are many factors that can be highly linked with this condition which includes; obesity, smoking, diabetes, lack of any physical activity, deficiency of vitamin D, stress, aging and also it comes through genes.
