3. Hypertension: Overcome the Highs
● Blood pressure (BP) is the amount of pressure exerted by the
flowing blood upon the walls of the arteries.
● The normal blood pressure is around 120/80 mmHg. It is
considered as hypertension when constantly there is a blood
pressure of more than 140/90 mmHg.
● This presentation talks about hypertension, a condition in which
the pressure exerted by the blood, on the walls of the arteries, is
too high.
