High blood pressure or hypertension arises when the pressure exerted by the circulating blood against the walls of the arteries becomes too high. People who are overweight, do not exercise, are above the age of 65, or consume too much alcohol are at a higher risk of high blood pressure. Common symptoms of high blood pressure include headache, blurred vision, chest pain, dizziness, and shortness of breath.
