High Blood Pressure
In medical terms Also called: HBP, HTN and Hypertension
Blood pressure was categorized into two basic groups, systolic pressure and diastolic pressure.
Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against artery walls. Every time your heart beats, it pumps out blood into the arteries. The higher your blood pressure when your heart beats, pumping more blood. This is called systolic pressure. When your heart is at rest, between beats, your blood pressure down. This is the diastolic pressure.

Hypertension is a major risk factor for stroke, myocardial infarction (heart attack), heart failure, vascular aneurysm, peripheral arterial disease and a cause of chronic kidney disease. Even moderate elevation of arterial blood pressure was associated with shortened life expectancy.

- 120/80 or lower is normal blood pressure
- 140/90 or higher is high blood pressure
- Between 120 and 139 for the top number, or between 80 and 89 for the bottom number is prehypertension

High blood pressure usually does not follow the initial symptoms, but can cause serious problems such as stroke, heart attack heart failure and kidney failure.
