Understanding High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
Blood pressure is the measure of force needed for your heart to pump blood throughout your body. You need a certain amount of pressure for blood to move from your heart to your brain and to the rest of your body. Your blood pressure naturally goes up and down throughout the day and night or when you’re doing certain activities. Higher blood pressure only becomes a problem when it’s consistently high.
