Hypertension is the medical term for abnormally high blood pressure, and it is generally accepted that everyone with a blood pressure reading of 140 over 90 mmHg or greater has the condition. When you have high blood pressure, the force of your blood flow against the walls of your arteries is so great that it could eventually result in health issues. The amount of blood your heart pumps and the amount of resistance your arteries present to that blood are both used to determine your blood pressure. You have high blood pressure if your arteries are thin and your heart pumps more blood than usual. Your chance of developing major medical diseases like heart failure and mitral valve abnormalities is increased by uncontrolled high blood pressure. A poor or unhealthy lifestyle, including unhealthy food, a sedentary lifestyle, ongoing stress or pressure, a history of high blood pressure in the family, and being obese/overweight (a high BMI), are some of the things that cause high blood pressure.
