What is hypertension?
Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of blood vessels and the magnitude of this force depends on the cardiac output and the resistance of the blood vessels. Normal blood pressure varies according to age. If average blood pressure reading of an individual is 150/90, then it is considered as the high BP.
A single reading of BP cannot be taken as standard value and one should check regularly at different times of the day for at least 15 days before arriving at any conclusion.
A diagnosis of hypertension may be made when one or both readings as shown below are high:
High blood pressure can also be secondary to other conditions. For example – kidney disease may lead to hypertension and in this case, treating the disease will normalize the blood pressure.
Hypertension by itself does not have symptoms but in the long-term leads to complications caused by narrowing of blood vessels.
Causes of hypertension
