When you have high blood pressure or hypertension, it won't, sadly, show any diagnostics till the harm is done. In industralised countries more than 20 per cent of adults are afflicted by hypertension. Least-developed countries are suffering from high blood pressure or hypertension more than the developed countries.

High blood pressure has not been restricted or checked entirely, although millions of dollars has been expended on its cure. The WHO informs that this problem out of excessive blood pressure is further compounded by poor hospitality to prescribed anti-hypertensive medicine.

Blood pressure is checked in millimetres of mercury (mm Hg) & observations which are not more than 120/80 mm Hg are treated normal. A measuring unit of less than 140/90 mm Hg is taken as normal, yet blood pressure coming more than 140/90 is treated as hypertension.

Hypertension is one of the major reasons of death or paralysis because of stroke, kidney failure and heart attack. There are two types of above the usual bloodpressure and 90 per cent of all examples are of primary or vital hypertension where the cause is unexplained, unlike secondary hypertension with identifiable origins that might be treatable or else reversible.
