Disease/Condition Glossary

High blood pressure (hypertension): It is a condition that causes hypertension by putting more pressure on the blood vessel walls. Hardened blood vessels (arteries) caused by this condition may reduce the amount of blood and oxygen reaching the heart. High blood pressure can result in heart attacks and angina (when the blood supply to the heart is blocked). Furthermore, stroke-related brain damage and kidney failure are also brought on by high blood pressure. Headache, dizziness, nose bleed, changes in vision, chest pain, weakness, and dyspnea are all signs of high blood pressure (shortness of breath). The majority of the time, hypertension does not have any symptoms or signs.
