The constant pressure against the blood vessels and organs will make them to fail, eventually. High blood pressure affects basically the heart, the brain and the kidneys. In the case of the heart, having to pump the blood against greater pressure will make the heart to dilate, then the walls will get thicker and finally the heart will fail, and the patient will die. Concerning the brain, there is a great risk of suffering a stroke, and about the kidneys, they will fail as well. The high blood pressure is, therefore, a potentially lethal condition, depending on how high it is and other factors.
I hope you dont have it as I am dealing with it now. If you do please see a doctor ASAP. You have to start controlling it. Stay away from salt, exercise 2 or 3 times a week and make sure you monitor it daily. You can get the blood pressure monitor from any walgreen or CVS store.
