Blood pressure is the reading of the force with which blood hits the walls of the arteries. When arteries become narrowed, blood pressure will increase as blood is pumped harder through the passageways. Hypertension or high blood pressure is usually caused by exercise, stress or an improper diet. People who consume too much caffeine like coffee, tea or soda also experience elevated blood pressure. In addition to this, smoking can also lead to hypertension as it acts like a vasoconstrictor, constricting and narrowing the arteries. Some people also have chronic hypertension which can be quite dangerous for health.
