High blood pressure damages your body over time, raising your risk of getting health conditions like:
- Heart disease like heart attacks or strokes
- Kidney problems
- Dementia or cognitive impairment
- Vision problems or loss
- Pregnancy complications
- Fluid build-up in your lungs
High blood pressure is sometimes called the silent killer. That’s because people with high blood pressure usually don’t have any signs or symptoms. Even though you might not feel anything, it can still do a lot of damage to your body.
Lowering your blood pressure to healthy levels can also lower your risk. Talk to your doctor about what you can do to help keep your blood pressure down.
Less pressure, more health!
