Among other complications, hypertension can cause serious damage to the heart. Excessive pressure can harden arteries, decreasing the flow of blood and oxygen to the heart. This elevated pressure and reduced blood flow can cause:
โ ๏ธ Chest pain, also called angina.
โ ๏ธ Heart attack, which occurs when the blood supply to the heart is blocked and heart muscle cells die from lack of oxygen. The longer the blood flow is blocked, the greater the damage to the heart.
โ ๏ธ Heart failure, which occurs when the heart cannot pump enough blood and oxygen to other vital body organs.
โ ๏ธ Irregular heart beat which can lead to a sudden death.
โ ๏ธ Hypertension can also burst or block arteries that supply blood and oxygen to the brain, causing a stroke.
โ ๏ธIn addition, hypertension can cause kidney damage, leading to kidney failure.
