high blood pressure

intro

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a medical condition characterized by the persistent elevation of blood pressure in the arteries, which can lead to cardiovascular disease and other complications. If left unmanaged, high blood pressure can cause damage to the blood vessels, heart, and kidneys, ultimately increasing the risk of stroke, heart failure, and kidney failure. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management, can help to prevent or manage high blood pressure and reduce the risk of associated health problems.
