3/4 After sharing with you the many benefits of normal blood pressure, it is crucial to also understand the risks associated with poorly controlled blood pressure.

Here are the top 10 main risks of poorly controlled blood pressure:

1- 💔 Myocardial infarction: if the coronary artery is blocked, it prevents the heart from functioning, leading to myocardial infarction (or heart attack). Without quick medical intervention, the patient risks death or serious consequences.

2- 🧠 Hypertension is directly responsible for 40% of strokes. It can also weaken blood vessels and increase the risk of aneurysms.

3- 👁️ Hypertension can cause damage to the small vessels of the eyes, which can lead to blindness.

4- 🧓 A history of high blood pressure is linked to an increased risk of dementia.

5- 🔼 Kidney damage: damage to the small vessels in the kidneys at the initial stage, located at the renal filter. If the kidneys are affected, there is a risk of chronic kidney disease and kidney failure.

6- 🤕 High blood pressure can cause persistent headaches (frequent headaches).

7- 🛌 Hypertension is often associated with sleep apnea.

8- 🔽 Fatigue and limitation of daily activities can result from high blood pressure, thus decreasing the quality of life.

9- 💊 Lifelong medication control may be necessary to manage hypertension, which can lead to drug dependence.

10- ⚠️ High blood pressure can limit blood flow to the ge***al organs, which is necessary for er****on in men and sexual arousal in women.

With MyBodyo solutions, easily monitor your systolic and diastolic blood pressure to prevent these risks.
