Hypertension or high blood pressure is a common condition. With high blood pressure, the pressure of the blood in your blood vessels is higher than it should be. 70 million people have high blood pressure, but only about half of people with high blood pressure have it under control. High blood pressure increases the risk for heart disease and stroke.

High blood pressure is called the “silent killer” because it often has no warning signs or symptoms, and many people don’t know they have it. That’s why it’s important to check your blood pressure regularly. The good news is that you can take steps to prevent high blood pressure or to control it if your blood pressure is already high.
