Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a condition in which the force exerted by blood against the walls of the arteries is chronically elevated.
This can be caused by various factors, such as lifestyle, genetics, obesity, and stress. Hypertension is dangerous because it can increase the risk of heart disease, strokes, and other health problems.
It’s important to control blood pressure through changes in diet, regular exercise, and, in some cases, medication, to maintain it at healthy levels and prevent complications.
