In this video, I answer the question: What is Hypertension?

I discuss normal blood pressure values and ranges, as well as abnormally high blood pressure values. I also discuss this difference between primary (or essential) hypertension and secondary hypertension.

I discuss why hypertension is a serious concern and what sort of issues it can lead to, some of the symptoms, as well as how it is diagnosed and how to prevent it.
