Hypertension? Hpertension is a common misspelling of hypertension.

Hypertension is a condition that affects more than 65 million American adults. It occurs when the pressure within your blood vessels is too high. While it does not cause any immediate problems, it may lead to health problems over time. By adding strain to the blood vessel walls, hypertension makes them more likely to develop a buildup of fat and cholesterol. Treatment for the condition usually involves lifestyle changes and medications to lower blood pressure.
