adamkaz / Getty Images Hypertension (high blood pressure) occurs when the blood pressure against your arteries is regularly too high, above 130/80 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) on a blood pressure reading. Your heart must pump against this pressure to send blood to your body. High blood pressure strains your heart and can increase your risk of cardiovascular disease.
