Living with High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, occurs when the force of blood moving through the blood vessels remains consistently too high. Because it may not cause noticeable symptoms, regularly monitoring your blood pressure can help you and your healthcare professional recognize changes and determine whether additional steps are needed. The American Heart Association provides information about understanding blood pressure readings, monitoring at home, managing high blood pressure, and protecting your long-term heart health.
