Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a medical condition where the force of the blood against the walls of the arteries is consistently too high. This condition can lead to serious health issues, such as Heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems if left untreated. Hypertension is often categorized into primary (essential) hypertension, which develops gradually over time, and secondary hypertension, which is caused by an underlying health condition. Lifestyle changes and medication are commonly used to manage hypertension.
