According to the John M Eisenberg Center for Clinical Decisions and Communications Science, high blood pressure is when “the force of the blood pumping through your arteries is too strong” (2012). Essentially, blood is pushed against artery walls as the heart pumps blood out and through the body. High blood pressure (HBP) occurs when the magnitude of the force of the blood pushing against the walls of arteries, or through blood vessels, is too great. This elevated pressure of blood pushing against
