Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -It’s also called hypertension. If you have high blood pressure, the force of the blood pushing against the artery walls is consistently too high. The heart has to work harder to pump blood.
Detailed explanation-2: -High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is blood pressure that is higher than normal.
Detailed explanation-3: -Arteries have thick walls so they can handle the high pressure and velocity that expels your blood out of your heart. Veins carry blood back to your heart from the rest of your body. The pressure of the blood returning to the heart is very low, so the walls of veins are much thinner than arteries.
