Blood pressure refers to the pressure the heart has to exert in order to circulate blood throughout the whole body. By having a blood pressure too low, it means the heart doesn't pump as hard to get blood through the body and by having a blood pressure too high it means the heart has to pump extra hard in order to get blood circulated throughout the whole body.

∙ 14y agoHigh blood pressure affects the muscles of the heart, the walls of the blood vessels and all the rest of the body systems by over taxing them. HBP can cause strokes, embolisms, severe headaches and lots of other problems. Untreated HBP wears down the human body. It is like being boiling mad and screaming red 24 hours a day. Trust me you would wear down if you did that and your body wears down the harder it has to push blood and oxygen through the entire body.
