How serious is high blood pressure?

Dr Yassir Javaid

High blood pressure (hypertension) is a risk factor for developing serious health problems sometime in the future. If you have high blood pressure, over the years it may do some damage to your blood vessels (arteries) and put a strain on your heart. In general, the higher your blood pressure, the greater the health risk.
