Hypertension, or high blood pressure, occurs when the force of blood against the walls of your arteries is consistently too high. A blood pressure level of 130 over 80 or higher indicates hypertension, according to most recent guidelines, stiffening the arteries and making the heart work harder. A normal level is less than 120 over 80. Blood pressure naturally fluctuates throughout the day and is higher when you're physically active or stressed. Hypertension can cause heart problems and strokes. Reducing high blood pressure can reduce the risk of both.
