    Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a common condition where the force of blood pressing against artery walls is too high. It has no symptoms for years but can eventually cause health problems like heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease if left uncontrolled. The main risk factors for hypertension include age, race, family history, being overweight, physical inactivity, tobacco use, too much salt in the diet, too little potassium, heavy alcohol use, and stress. Lifestyle changes like losing weight, reducing sodium, exercising regularly, moderating alcohol, and following treatment can help control blood pressure.
