Hypertension - High Blood Pressure

Imchospital1219 May, 2023Health

A common medical illness where there is an increase in the blood's steady pressure against the walls of the arteries is high blood pressure, also referred to as hypertension. The greater figure represents the systolic pressure and the lower number represents the diastolic pressure when calculating blood pressure in millimetres of mercury (mmHg). Blood pressure readings that are less than 120/80 mmHg are regarded as normal. On the other hand, hypertension is characterised by a persistent blood pressure reading of 130/80 mmHg or higher.
