Hypertension: Hypertension is a condition in which the pressure in the blood vessels is high. The blood exerts elevated pressure on the walls of blood vessels leading to high blood pressure. Raised blood pressure can cause chest pain (angina) and heart attack (when blood supply to the heart is blocked). Additionally, high blood pressure also causes brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. High blood pressure can be diagnosed with the help of a blood pressure monitor or sphygmomanometer. Systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart pumps blood out. On the other hand, diastolic pressure is the pressure when your heart is at the resting stage between heartbeats. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60 mm of Hg and 120/80 mm of Hg.
