Hypertension , otherwise known as high blood pressure, is a common condition that occurs when the sustained pressure of blood flowing through arteries rises, forcing the heart to work harder than usual. Extended periods of uncontrolled high blood pressure can result in a number of serious health issues, including stroke and heart attack.

Hypertension is often referred to as the silent killer because many people with dangerously high blood pressure exhibit no symptoms. According to the Cleveland Clinic , some patients may experience shortness of breath, headaches or nose bleeds but the symptoms of hypertension can be vague and appear only once the condition has become life-threatening.
