What is Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

Hypertension or high blood pressure (HBP) is a medical condition characterized by high blood pressure in the blood vessels that can cause veins to rupture, narrow, or leak. If left unmanaged, hypertension can increase the risk of heart diseases and other health conditions such as kidney diseases and blindness.

High blood pressure can also damage the brain, and even form clots in the arteries that would block the blood flow, and result in a stroke.

Healthy individuals should have a normal blood pressure reading less than 120 mm Hg as the top number or systolic, during the contraction of the heart muscle. The bottom number or diastolic, when the heart rests between beats, should be up to 80 mm Hg.

People are considered at risk if they have blood pressure ranging between 120 and 139 mm Hg (systolic), and between 80 and 89 mm Hg (diastolic). 

In the U.S, 1 in every 3 adults suffers from hypertension. This is worrying because when hypertension is left untreated, it could lead to more serious health problems such as a heart attack or stroke.

The exact cause of hypertension is unknown. However, many factors play a role in its development. One important and modifiable risk factor includes food as well as incorporating too much salt in the diet.
