High blood pressure is referred to as?

Hypotension
Eupnea
Hypertension
Dyspnea

The correct answer is: Hypertension

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a condition in which the force of blood against the artery walls is too high. This can lead to various health problems, such as heart disease and stroke. Option A, hypotension, is the opposite of hypertension and refers to low blood pressure. Option B, eupnea, refers to normal breathing and is not related to blood pressure. Option D, dyspnea, refers to difficulty breathing and is also not related to blood pressure. Therefore, option C, hypertension, is the most accurate term to describe high blood pressure.
