Disease/Condition Glossary
Hypertension: It is a chronic condition when blood pressure is too high. Blood pressure is defined as the amount of blood pumped by the heart and the amount of resistance exerted by the arteries against the blood flow. If the heart pumps more blood, then arteries become narrower, and in turn, blood pressure becomes high. If blood pressure becomes uncontrolled, it may lead to serious heart diseases, including stroke and heart attack. Additionally, high blood pressure can also cause brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg. Some of the symptoms of hypertension include headache, nosebleeds, vomiting and chest pain.
Oedema: It is swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in the body's tissues. It can affect any part of the body, preferably more in the hands, arms, feet, ankles, and legs.
