Hypertension (more commonly known as high blood pressure), is a condition in which the force of blood against your artery walls is too high. This eventually damages your arteries and leads to serious issues like heart disease or stroke. A heart attack happens when there is reduced oxygen supply to the heart due to decrease in blood flow which is caused by blockage of blood vessels, ultimately leading to heart muscle damage. Symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath, and dizziness. A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, either by a clot or damaged blood vessel, leading to brain damage.
