Prolonged high blood pressure damages the body. Vulnerable parts of you wear out more quickly if your system runs at too high a pressure for a long time.
The heart has to pump too hard, blood vessels get damaged and the hypertensive person has a higher risk of Heart disease especially heart attack.
Sensitive organs like the kidney suffer, so the risk of renal failure is increased. The eyes deteriorate too and the brain is vulnerable to perhaps the most devastating complication of all - stroke.
Most of these complications can lead to death.
