what are the effects of high blood pressure?

Answer 1

Lots of things.....
heart attacks, strokes, and eventually death

Answer 2

in the beginning it does little that is noticable. as it progresses headachy, angina pains in the jaw face or arm, angina pain is not always in the chest, lightedness episodes that make no sense, fatigue, sleep distrubances.

These are the symptoms I deal with before I treated it, and i have had hbp since I was 10 but only started to treat it the past 2 or so years. so we are talking about 30 some years.

the heart increases in size which reduces pumping capability. then of course you have the final results the heart attacks, strokes death.

RRRRR
