Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a widespread and potentially life-threatening condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Due to its lack of noticeable symptoms in its early stages, hypertension can lead to severe health complications if left untreated.  Hypertension occurs when the force of blood against the walls of the arteries is consistently too high. Blood pressure is measured using two numbers: systolic pressure (the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats) and diastolic pressure (the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats).
