Hypertension is also known as what?

Low blood pressure

Normal blood pressure

Variable blood pressure

High blood pressure

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a medical condition in which the force of blood against the walls of the arteries is consistently too high. This can lead to serious health problems such as heart disease and stroke. The other options are incorrect because A) Low blood pressure is when the force of blood against the artery walls is lower than normal, B) Normal blood pressure refers to the ideal range of blood pressure for a healthy individual, and C) Variable blood pressure is not a term used to describe hypertension, which is a consistently high blood pressure. Thus, option D is the correct answer for this question.
