Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood in your arteries. It is commonly written as two number - i.e. 140/80. The higher the numbers, the harder it is for blood to flow. Normal blood pressure for adults is 120/80. When your blood pressure is constantly higher than the recommended level, you may develop high blood pressure or hypertension. If you have high blood pressure, your risk of having a heart attack or a stroke is higher. It can also cause your heart to become abnormally large, or the pumping action to become less effective over time.
Be aware, if you develop hypertension, it is necessary to control it or reduce it to lower the risk of problems in the future.
