Hypertension:
Hypertension means that your blood is exerting too much force on your arteries and is making your heart's job--pumping blood--more difficult than it should be. Your heart is a powerful and efficient muscle, but if it's forced to work too hard for too long it can enlarge, wear out or fail, causing a heart attack, stroke, aneurysm... and an early death.

Natural Cures:

Quit Smoking: Smoking narrows the blood arteries and capillaries and increases hypertension.
