    High blood pressure, also called hypertension, increases the risk of heart attack and stroke as it puts too much force on artery walls over time, potentially damaging them. While many people do not experience symptoms of high blood pressure, it can be detected through regular checkups, as the only way to know if one has it is to get their blood pressure checked. Living a heart healthy lifestyle through choices like stopping smoking, eating well, drinking in moderation, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, and taking any needed medications can help lower high blood pressure and reduce risks of heart attack and stroke.
