Blood flow to the heart muscle can be impeded by clogged arteries caused by high blood pressure.
2. Heart failure
The heart may become larger and become less able to pump blood to the body as a result of the increased burden brought on by high blood pressure.
3. Kidney disease or failure
Excessive blood pressure can harm the kidneys’ surrounding arteries, impairing their capacity to adequately filer blood.
4. Loss of vision
Elevated blood pressure can compress or harm blood vessels in the eyes.
5. Sexual dysfunction
Elevated blood pressure can cause libido reduction in women and erectile dysfunction in males.
High blood pressure and hypertensive crisis
Check your blood pressure again after five minutes if you are symptoms free. Additionally, if your readings are still abnormally high and you are not suffering any other signs of damage to your target organ, such as chest pain, shortness or breath, back pain, numbness or weakness, changes in vision, or difficulty speaking, get in touch with your healthcare provider right once it is possible that you are having a hypertensive crisis.
