THE EFFECTS OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE ON YOUR BODY

Article Abstract by: rnmorales_07    

Original Author: RM
If your blood pressure is high, your blood vessels are at a
great risk of narrowing, producting heart disease,
stroke, and
heart attack.

Your heart suffers through narrowing arteries, cutting off blood
to the heart. When your arteries become critically narrow, you''re
susceptible to heart attack.
High blood pressure is the leading cause of kidney failure.
It can also cause blurred and lost vision in your eyes.
When the arteries harden in your brain, you can suffer stroke.
Arteries may rupture, causing bleeding and rupture, slurred
speech, loss of consciousness, and paralysis.
