High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure (hypertension) or hypertension means high pressure (tension) in the arteries. Arteries are the vessels that carry blood from the heart pumping all tissues and organs in the body. High blood pressure does not mean excessive emotional tension, although emotional tension and stress can temporarily increase blood pressure. Normal blood pressure is less than 120 on high level and 80 minimum; blood pressure between 120 and 80 and 139 / 89 is called "prehypertension"and a blood pressure of 140 and 90 or higher is considered high.

The top number, systolic pressure, represents the pressure in the arteries as the heart contracts and pumps blood forward into the arteries. The bottom number, diastolic pressure, represents the pressure in the arteries as the heart relaxes after contraction. The diastolic pressure reflects the lowest pressure at which the arteries are exposed.
