Abstract :

Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of blood vessels as heart pumps blood around the body. If this pressure becomes too high, it is said to be high blood pressure, or hypertension. Pre–hypertension occurs when one get to a level near 130/85. Blood pressure higher than 140/90 must be taken care by medication. As recommended by WHO and the Committee on the Detection Evaluation and Treatment of Hypertension the blood pressure lower than 130 mm Hg is considered to be normal pressure, an optimum pressure is less than 120 mm Hg. High blood pressure is one of the most important factors for cardiovascular diseases and chronic kidney disease. Healthy diet, exercise and medications can control Blood pressure.
