High blood pressure is a common disorder affecting the arteries of the body. It is also known as hypertension. When you have high blood pressure, the force of the blood pushing against the artery walls is always too strong. To pump blood, the heart has to work harder. Millimetres of mercury are used to measure blood pressure (mm Hg). Hypertension is defined as a blood pressure value of 130/80 mm Hg or greater. A hypertensive emergency or crisis is defined as blood pressure greater than 180/120 mm Hg. Anybody with these blood pressure readings should seek emergency medical attention. High blood pressure, if left untreated, raises the chance of a heart attack, stroke, and other significant health concerns. It is critical to have your blood pressure monitored at least every two years beginning at the age of 40.
