Hypertension: It is also called high blood pressure and is a serious condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery walls becomes high. This hardens the heart to pump blood. Raised blood pressure can cause chest pain (angina), heart attack (when the blood supply to the heart is blocked), stroke (brain damage) and kidney failure. Bisot-5 Tablet is used in treating hypertension and thus helps reduce further risk. Blood pressure can be diagnosed with the help of a blood pressure monitor called a sphygmomanometer.
