Hypertension is a Major Risk Factor For Stroke

Blood pressure is the force pushing the blood vessel walls of your heart every time. Your blood pressure is highest each time the heart beats, pumping blood into the arteries. This is called the systolic blood pressure, and a large number in your reading. Diastolic pressure measures pressure between beats when your heart is at rest. Your blood pressure is lowest during sleep, although some variation in the day, remained the same. A normal blood pressure is 120/80. If your systolic blood pressure rose to 140 or above, or if your diastolic pressure is raised to 90 or above is considered high blood pressure ..
According to the American Heart Association estimates that one third of American adults has high blood pressure, also known as hypertension, and worry about one third of them did not even know they have it. No wonder this condition has long been the ’silent killer’.
