                                      Hypertension or blood pressure is a chronic condition. There is more than a billion people around the globe are currently suffering from Hypertension. It is the high pressure of blood against the walls of our arteries. The pressure of blood is highest when the heart beats and lowest when it rests between beats. The highest blood pressure is called systolic and the lowest is diastolic pressure. When either systolic or diastolic pressure goes higher than normal it is called hypertension or high blood pressure.

                                      What is the range of Hypertension?

                                      Normal blood pressure of a person is around 120/80. When it becomes higher than 140/90 it is considered to be high blood pressure. On the other hand, when it goes lower than 90/60, it is called low blood pressure. But if it goes as high as 180/120 it is considered as hypertension and one should immediately seek medical attention.
