Explaination:

The harder the heart works to push the blood ,the greater the force is on the arteries Blood pressure is expressed in terms of millimeter of mercury above the surrounding atmospheric pressure.Blood pressure readings have two numbers i.e top number and bottom number.The top number is called Systolic pressure.The bottom number is called Diastolic pressure.The blood flows through arteries and it delivers all necessary oxygen and nutrients the body needs to be healthy. Such a force occurs throughout the vascular system. [3]

Systemic arterial blood pressure is most commonly called as blood pressure.However,measurement of pressures in the pulmonary vessels and venous system plays an important role in intensive care medicine.Blood pressure is influenced by the heart rate ,the amount of blood pumped by the heart and the ease with which blood travels through the body.The difference between the measured systolic and diastolic pressures is called pulse pressure.

[3] In extreme condition pulse goes weak,urine production decreases and may cause circulatory failure. It also causes kidney failure and strokes.Its symptoms include dizziness chest pain and increased thirst.In this condition smoking should be avoided and protein salt intake should be increased.[4] b) Hypertension: Hypertension stands for high blood pressure.Blood pressure above 140/90 is considered high.Blood flows through arteries at higher than normal pressure.[3]It has no clear symptoms but you may feel headache ,blurred vision and dizziness.It is also called as silent killer.It may be due to kidney disease,stress,hormonal disorder and high salt
