High blood pressure (hypertension) is a common condition in which the long-term force of the blood against the artery walls is high enough to cause health problems such as heart disease. The amount of blood pumped by your heart and the resistance to blood flow in your arteries both influence blood pressure. The more blood your heart pumps and the narrower your arteries, the higher your blood pressure. Millimeters of mercury is used to measure blood pressure (mm Hg). It consists of two digits. High blood pressure can exist without causing symptoms for years. Uncontrolled high blood pressure increases your risk of serious health problems such as heart attack and stroke. Fortunately, high blood pressure is easily detectable. You can work with your doctor to control your blood pressure once you've determined that you have it.
