High blood pressure (also known as hypertension) is a potentially serious health condition that can lead to numerous health problems if not managed properly. Uncontrolled high blood pressure increases your risk of stroke, heart attack, kidney disease and other medical problems.
When it comes to the circulatory system, having high blood pressure means that the force of the blood against your artery walls is higher than normal. This makes it harder for your heart to pump efficiently and may cause damage over time. Having consistently elevated or uncontrolled levels of blood pressure can be associated with increased risk factors such as coronary artery disease, stroke, congestive heart failure and even death in some cases.
High blood pressure puts extra strain on both major organs -the heart and kidneys- over time leading to damage or malfunctioning of these vital organs. It also damages the arteries by increasing their thickness due to plaque buildup resulting in decreased pore size which restricts circulation in the brain, limbs and other parts of body leading to tissue starvation from lack of nutrition and oxygen resulting into impaired organ function. This results in poor memory formation due to reduced neuron capacity affecting cognition negatively; restlessness during sleep due to racing heartbeat; chest tightness from stress hormones released when pumping hard; dizziness from low supply of fresh oxygenated & nutrient enriched circulatory fluid reducing dosage required for vital signs maintenance etc., making day-to-day activities difficultly possible at times depending upon situation severity level monitored regularly via Medical examinations/ tests like ECG’s etc., ultimately impacting person’s quality life significantly long term basis without proper timely interventions if necessary scheduled periodically recommended by Doctors/ specialists based upon unique diagnosis reported confirming current status assessment including overall patient health condition evaluation arrived at accordingly versus steady stream BMI values monitoring performed professionally routinely while assessing individual medical data entries collected concerning such matters regardless its nature provided always referenced accurately herewith under consideration duly noted respective same old fundies hereinafter discussed contemplated further hereinbelow clearly understood !
