Everything you must know about Hypertension or High Blood Pressure

Blood pressure is the force that the flowing liquid exerts on the inner walls of arteries. In most cases, high blood pressure shows no symptoms, which makes hypertension a covert killer. Gradually, high blood pressure increases the risk of medical complications such as stroke, kidney failure, congestive heart attack and heart failure.
