Hypertension, which is defined as high blood pressure, it is one of the most common medical problems. Hypertension does not usually show any symptoms, and it is not usually diagnosed in the early stages. It is one of the important causes of heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, and other serious medical problems.

However hypertension is so common and consequential, it is important for everyone to have their blood pressure checked periodically. Prehypertension describes blood pressure that is higher than the desirable range, but not high enough to be labelled hypertension which would be 120/80mmhg
