Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a condition that refers to the force of the blood flowing through a patient’s body through the arteries. High blood pressure is usually characterized by the patient’s heart pumping more blood than average and the patient having arteries that are narrower than usual. If left unchecked, high blood pressure increases a patient’s risk of heart attack and stroke. In this article, we talk about the causes of hypertension, as well as its signs, symptoms, and method of diagnosis.
