What does high blood pressure do to your body?
High blood causes your heart must pump harder, and the arteries carry blood that's moving under increased pressure. If high blood pressure continues for an extended period of time, your heart and arteries may not work as well as they should. There is increased risk of stroke, congestive heart failure, kidney failure and heart attack. When high blood pressure exists with obesity, smoking, high blood cholesterol or diabetes, the risk of heart attack or stroke increases several times.

Daily self-monitoring of blood pressure is an important step individuals can take to maintain cardiovascular health and prevent the serious consequences associated with undetected and untreated hypertension.
