When the blood pressure of a person is too high, it is known as hypertension. Blood pressure refers to the pressure created by the body’s arteries, which are the body’s main blood vessels, as blood circulates against their walls. Elevated blood pressure, often known as hypertension, is a serious medical condition that raises the chance of developing heart, brain, kidney, and other problems. The phrase “silent killer” refers to hypertension. Because it may not have any symptoms or warning signs, the majority of people with hypertension are unaware they have a problem. Because of this, it is crucial to periodically assess blood pressure.
