High Blood Pressure
Hypertension
noun
Remember blood pressure (血圧)? Well, now the blood pressure is tall... so you have "tall blood pressure." Well that's dumb. Let's call it high blood pressure instead.
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. If you know the readings of your kanji you'll know how to read this as well.
原因は高血圧です。

コウイチが高血圧だというデマをあちこちで飛ばしているのは一体だれなんだ？
Who the heck is spreading the false rumor that Koichi has high blood pressure?
