Heart Damage
When the heart continues to overwork itself for a long time, it will eventually get to a point where it becomes weak and unable to cope with the demand of the body; it is at this point that the heart starts to fail. When you’ve had high blood pressure for a long time, you may also experience coronary heart disease, where blood won’t be able to flow freely to the heart. Since it is so hard for high blood pressure to be diagnosed in the early stages, it may cause some damages before it is eventually noticed; to avoid any form of heart damage or heart failure, check your blood pressure regularly.[6]
