Hypertension Overview
Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
 
Blood pressure is the force that your blood exerts on the walls of your arteries. High blood pressure can weaken your heart and damage the walls of your arteries, increasing the risk of serious health problems such as heart disease, stroke and kidney disease.
 
The test is quick and painless, and the vast majority of people will have experienced it before.
 
Why Test Your Blood Pressure
 
High blood pressure is a common problem:
a high percentage of people have it.
 
It often presents no symptoms, but it is important because it raises the risk of serious health problems such as heart disease and stroke.
 
When your blood pressure is too high, your heart has to work harder to pump blood around your body. Over time, this can weaken your heart.
 
High blood pressure also places a strain on the walls of your arteries, making a blockage or break more likely.
