STORYLINE
High blood pressure, also referred to as HBP or hypertension, is when the force of blood flowing through your blood vessels is consistently too high. This can put extra strain on your blood vessels, heart and other organs – such as the brain, kidneys and eyes. Blood pressure readings between 120/80mmHg and 140/90mmHg could mean you're at risk of developing high blood pressure if you do not take steps to keep your blood pressure under control.
