    Hypotension is the medical term for low blood pressure (less than 90/60). Normal blood pressure is usually in the range of 120/80

    High blood pressure results from damage to your arteries. It also causes damage to your arteries. Damaged arteries can develop a thrombus (clot) that causes a heart attack, stroke, or other acute vascular incident

    High blood pressure causes damage to many organs. For example, the heart mucle becomes thicker, more rigid after having to pump against higher resistance for many years, and this can result in heart failure
