Blood pressure is the result of two forces:  from the heart as it pumps blood into the arteries and throughout the circulatory system, and the force of the arteries as they resist blood flow.

<span>You probably have high blood pressure (hypertension) if your blood pressure readings are consistently 140 over 90, or higher.
</span>

If you have high blood pressure, this higher pressure puts extra strain on your heart and blood vessels. Over time, this extra strain increases your risk of a heart attack or stroke.

High blood pressure can also cause heart and kidney disease and is closely linked to some forms of dementia.

Therefore, a practitioner must abide by the code of ethics because it delivers guidance to the practitioner in addressing common ethical questions and it elucidates the duties and responsibilities of the practitioner.
