Blood pressure is the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your arteries. High blood pressure (or hypertension) means that your blood is moving through your arteries at a pressure that is higher than normal. Most of the time, high blood pressure has no symptoms. You may feel fine even with high blood pressure.
Many people have high blood pressure. About 1 in 3 Americans has it. High blood pressure can lead to other serious health problems, such as heart attack or stroke. Lowering your blood pressure may lower your risk for these problems.Your doctor may have told you that your blood pressure is not controlled. That means it’s time to get a plan for lowering it.
