Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a persistent blood pressure above 90 mm Hg between the heart beats (diastolic) or over 140 mm Hg at the beats (systolic). Hypertension does not in itself give dramatic symptoms, but it is dangerous because it causes a highly increased risk for heart infarction, stroke and renal failure.
Symptoms of Hypertension: Hypertension is often without symptoms. By mild hypertension, flushing and headache can occur. More serious hypertension gives symptoms like: Fatigue, dizziness, palpitations, tachycardia (rapid heart rate) and nosebleeds.
Extreme hypertension gives morning headache, blurred vision, dyspnoea (breathing difficulties) and elevated values of certain components in the blood, like urea and serum creatinine.
Hypertension will in the long run hurt the blood vessels, and serious hypertension can do extensive damage to the blood vessels in a few months or years. The damaged blood vessels will impair the blood flow. They can also rupture causing a bleeding or be clogged by a blood clot that shuts out the blood flow and causes tissue damage. These things can occur in the brain, causing a stroke, in the heart causing heart infarction or in the kidneys with renal failure as a consequence. A renal failure will in the next turn cause the hypertension to aggravate, partly because a damaged kidney will not manage to secrete water and salt well enough, and partly because a kidney that do not get enough blood will start a hormonal mechanism that induces the kidney to actively hold back salt and water.

Hypertension is always at risk. It can lead to lot of diseases. Now can u explain some primary steps in order to prevent the hypertension from occurring?
Some Primary methods to prevent the hypertension are as follows:
1. Blood pressure increases with age.
2. Targeted interventions are needed for people with characteristics that put them at high risk for hypertension, including family history of hypertension, black race, high-normal BP, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, high dietary-sodium intake, low dietary-potassium intake, and high alcohol intake.
3. Maintaining normal body-mass index, limiting alcohol intake, and engaging in almost-daily aerobic activity are all proven strategies for preventing hypertension.
4. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy products, and reduced saturated and total fat to Stop Hypertension.
5. Supplementation with calcium, fish oil, and herbals or botanicals now are identified specifically as having uncertain hypertension-prevention benefits.
6. Hypertension begins early in life. The committee advocates prevention of high BP levels in children through nutrition education and promotion of physical activity and of a heart-healthy lifestyle.
7. It is recommended that professional organizations, healthcare providers, and schools provide more health education to reduce hypertension risk across the population.
