    High blood pressure

     

     
    Blood pressure of a person depends upon various factors. Blood flow through the pipes is one of the factors. When blood flows through the pipes in our bodies, they exert pressure on the walls of the pipes. The ease with which blood flows is indicated by our ‘blood pressure’. The flow gets affected by the diameter of blood pipe and any obstruction in them. Our food habits, stress level and exercise also affect our blood pressure in complex way  Blood pressure is also influenced by hereditary factors. If both or either of the parents have high blood pressure then the chances of their son/daughter having high blood pressure increases.
