Hypertension

• Hypertension is the scientific term for a disease commonly called high blood pressure.
• It is chronic in nature and is caused as a result of high systolic or diastolic pressure of the arteries that go to the heart.

• The blockage in the heart can be caused due to high cholestrol and intake of a diet rich in salt.
• Salt causes osmotic imbalance and in turn results in water retention in the tissues thus causing increased blood pressure.

• It is non-transmissible and is majorly caused due to poor and sedentary lifestyle.
