... bloody high...


what is high blood pressure?...

doctors called them high blood pressure hypertension...
when doctors take your blood pressure, they measure how hard your blood pushes against your blood vessels as it moves around your body...
our body system need some pressure to keep the blood moving...
but it shouldn't be too high...
if the pressure is too high, it can damage your blood vessels...
and it will cause problems such as heart attacks, strokes and kidney damage...

you are more likely to have high blood pressure if you are older, have a relative with high blood pressure, pregnant, overweight, lack of exercises, smoke, having unhealthy diet or living under stress...
