Answer: Hypertension is a condition where the blood pressure stays high all the time. The prevalence of hypertension mainly in men is (30.2%) whereas in the case of women it is 27.7%) in the age of 45- 50.
The pathophysiology of hypertension includes that when there is an extreme activity of sympathetic nervous system, the blood pressure increases. Hence this causes hypertension. The baroreflex as well as chemoreflex pathways alteration occurs which is due to increased sympathetic nervous system activity.
