High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, occurs when the pressure of blood flowing through your arteries remains consistently higher than normal.

Over time, uncontrolled hypertension can increase the risk of serious health problems such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney complications. Because it usually develops without obvious symptoms, many people are unaware they have it.

Regular screening is one of the most effective ways to identify high blood pressure early and take steps to manage it.
