Introduction: Hypertension is the emerging public health problem of adult population across the globe, affecting one in every four individuals. Essential hypertension is currently understood as a multifactorial disease arising from the combined action of many genetic, environmental, and behavioral factors.

Materials and methods: A hospital based cross sectional analytical study was conducted among 200 patients (100 study group and 100 control group) who attended the out-patient and in-patient at the department of Medicine from December 2015 to November 2017. Results: There was male preponderance in both the groups (63% and 65% respectively) while female patients constituted 37% and 35% of groups. The mean SBP values in Stage I and Stage II hypertensive patients in Cases Group were 143.36±4.59 and 167.58±16.22 mmHg respectively. Conclusions: 40 - 60 years is the commonest age of presentations of hypertensive disorders Systolic and diastolic blood pressures tends to be on increasing side and is proportional to duration of the disorder.
