Hypertension relates to High Blood Pressure.
High blood pressure often causes no symptoms, or immediate problems, but it is a major risk factor for developing a serious cardiovascular disease (conditions that affect the functioning of the heart and the circulation of blood around the body), such as a stroke or heart disease.
If your Doctor has recommended you to do so, you can report your blood pressure using our Online Blood Pressure Monitoring Form.
