Step-by-step explanation:

Blood pressure is the force of blood as your heart pumps it through your arteries. When the blood pushes against your artery walls with more force than usual, you have high blood pressure. This makes your heart work harder to push blood through your body, and that extra work makes your heart bigger and weaker.

hope it helps.

stay safe healthy and happy.
