WHAT IS BLOOD PRESSURE?

Blood transports oxygen and nutrients to the organs. The heart pumps the blood through the blood vessels. This action causes pressure on the blood, the blood pressure. The blood pressure has to be adapted constantly to the needs of the body. When lying down the heart has to pump less than standing or even exercising

CONTD
The human body has different mechanisms to regulate blood pressure. Some of them work very fast like increasing the heart frequency when you are active or nervous; others like regulating the blood volume take more time. The blood pressure is also influenced by many other parameters like body weight, age and even the time of day

WHAT IS HYPERTENSION?
According to WHORECOMMENDATION: An optimal blood pressure is one of under 120 over 80 mm Hg. A systolic blood pressure of 120 to 139 mm Hg or a diastolic value of 80 to 89 mm Hg is called high normal. Values of 140 mm Hg or more systolic and 90 mm Hg or more diastolic are called hypertension. When one of the two values is elevated, is enough to be in the high normal or the hypertension group
