High blood pressure is when the force of blood flowing through your blood vessels becomes too great placing strain on the vessel walls. Overtime it can cause the heart and blood vessels to weaken putting you at greater risk for heart disease and stroke. It is important to control your stress, particularly any long-term stress you may be feeling, to reduce your risk of developing these life-threatening diseases.
