Hypertension Prevalence for 2018 through 2020 for Adults Aged 28 Years and Older by County. The map shows that concentrations of counties with the highest hypertension prevalence - meaning the top quintile - are located primarily in Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maine, and Michigan. Pockets of high-rate counties also were found in Florida, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, and Missouri.

[Audio] Prognosis
Among other complications, hypertension can cause serious damage to the heart. Excessive pressure can harden arteries, decreasing the flow of blood and oxygen to the heart. This elevated pressure and reduced blood flow can cause:
chest pain, also called angina;
heart attack, which occurs when the blood supply to the heart is blocked and heart muscle cells die from lack of oxygen. The longer the blood flow is blocked, the greater the damage to the heart;
heart failure, which occurs when the heart cannot pump enough blood and oxygen to other vital body organs; and
irregular heart beat which can lead to a sudden death.
Hypertension can also burst or block arteries that supply blood and oxygen to the brain, causing a stroke.
In addition, hypertension can cause kidney damage, leading to kidney failure..

[Audio] Prevention
Eat more vegetables and fruits.
Sit less.
Be more physically active, which can include walking, running, swimming, dancing or activities that build strength, like lifting weights. Get at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes per week of vigorous aerobic activity.
Do strength building exercises 2 or more days each week.
Lose weight if you're overweight or obese.
Take medicines as prescribed by your health care professional.
Keep appointments with your health care professional..

What IS HYPERTENSION? 
Hypertension (high blood pressure) is when the pressure in your blood vessels is too high (140/90  millimetersHg or higher). It is common but can be serious if not treated.

Causes
Things that increase the risk of having high blood pressure include:
older age 
genetics
being overweight or obese
not being physically active 
high-salt diet
drinking too much alcohol

Blood Pressure Is Written As Two Numbers. The First (systolic) Number Represents The Pressure In Blood Vessels When The Heart Contracts Or Beats. The Second (diastolic) Number Represents The Pressure In The Vessels When The Heart Rests Between Beats.

Signs and symptoms
People with high blood pressure usually greater than 180/120 or higher
severe headaches
chest pain
dizziness
difficulty breathing
nausea
vomiting
blurred vision or other vision changes
anxiety
confusion
buzzing in the ears
nosebleeds
abnormal heart rhythm

At risk populations
Rates of High Blood Pressure Control Vary by Sex and RaceA greater percentage of men (50%) have high blood pressure than women (44%). High blood pressure is more common in non-Hispanic black adults (56%) than in non-Hispanic white adults (48%)
 non-Hispanic Asian adults (46%)
 or Hispanic adults (39%).
