What is high blood pressure? Blood pressure is the force with which blood flows through the arteries in your body. Arteries are the blood vessels that carry blood from your heart to the rest of your body. When your heart beats, it pushes blood through the arteries. As the blood flows, it puts pressure on the walls of the arteries. This is called blood pressure. High blood pressure (also called hypertension) occurs when blood flows through the arteries at a higher pressure than normal. Many different factors can cause high blood pressure. If blood pressure becomes too high or stays high for a long time, it can cause health problems. Uncontrolled high blood pressure increases the risk of stroke, heart disease, heart attack and kidney failure. There are 2 types of hypertension Primary hypertension. This is also called essential hypertension. It is called this when there is no known cause of your high blood pressure. It is the most common type of hypertension.
