Hypertension is an increase in blood pressure in the arteries.
In general, hypertension is a condition without symptoms, in which abnormally high pressure in the arteries increases the risk for stroke, aneurysm, heart failure, heart attack and kidney damage.
On examination the blood pressure will get two numbers. higher rates obtained when the heart contracts (systolic), lower figure obtained when the heart relaxes (diastolic). Blood pressure is written as systolic slash diastolic pressure, for example 120/80 mmHg, read a hundred and twenty and eighty. It said high blood pressure if at the time sitting systolic pressure to 140 mmHg or more, or diastolic pressure reaches 90 mmHg or more, or both. In high blood pressure, usually there is an increase systolic and diastolic pressure.
In isolated systolic hypertension, systolic pressure to 140 mmHg or more, but diastolic pressure of less than 90 mmHg and diastolic pressure was still within the normal range. Hypertension is often found in the elderly. Along with age, almost everyone has increased blood pressure, systolic pressure continued to increase until the age of 80 years and diastolic pressure continue to increase until age 55-60 years, then decrease slowly or even decreased.
Malignant hpertension is very severe hypertension, which if untreated, will cause death within 3-6 months. Hypertension is rare, only 1 out of every 200 people with hypertension.

There are variety of factors which can cause high blood pressure, the important thing is to identify it as soon as possible. As per my knowledge we cannot cure completely hypertension but can get in control. Exercising on the daily basis at least for half an hour. It does not mean that you have to stick to hard exercise but just do your favorite physical activities like dancing, playing football, hockey etc.
