Why is high blood pressure bad?

Answer 1

It damages many parts of your body, including the hardening and thickening of all your vascular system (blood vessels) as well as causing organ damage such as kidney failure. It increases your risk of strokes (brain attacks) and heart failure and generally cause a whole range of systemic diseases, including blindness.

I stress this is true and exaggerated, the risks of high blood pressure are not taken as seriously by the public as the medical profession would like, because of the generally unnoticeable symptoms and long onset for anything to go wrong.

My grandfather has recently been diagnosed with kidney failure due to his high blood pressure (hypertensive nephropathy) which has no obvious signs for many years.
