You would notice a greater elevation of blood pressure and pulse when an individual experiences hypertension. It is also known as high blood pressure. When blood vessels are blocked or are constricted due to several reasons, the pressure of the blood would be increased since there would be smaller area for the blood to flow. Consequently, the pulse or the heart rate would increase as well due to the increase in pressure. Factors that can cause hypertension would be lack of exercise, stress, when hormones are not regulated. It can also be caused by another illness like diabetes, kidney disorder, obesity and many other.
