The American Heart Association estimates that 73 million adults age 20 or older have hypertension. The growing numbers of population with hypertension is due to obesity epidemics and rising incidence of metabolic syndrome. A blood pressure level of 140/90 or more is considered high blood pressure. Blood pressure of 140 to 159 systolic and 90-99 is considered state 1 hypertension.


In stage 2 hypertension, usually 2 prescription medications are needed to maintain numbers less than 140/85. Approximately 90 percent to 95 percent of all hypertension causes aren’t known. While there is no cure for essential hypertension, it can be easily detected and controllable with lifestyle changes, nutritional intervention, stress management, and understanding of genetic and hereditary factors.
