Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, I have a quiery about efects of high blood pressure. A tragedy happened a week ago and since then I feel stressed. Today the doctor measured my blood pressure and it was 165/90. I will go to examinations to different doctors in a few days, but what I would like to know now is whether this high blood pressure can have an instant effect on my body or not. I am a bit afraid at the moment because of my blood pressure. (I am 20 years old, I do exercises regularly, I eat healthy food.)
Blood pressure is normally 120/80 mmHg and if more then 140/90 considered high .If you have the above readings you need immediate lifestyles modifications like low salt diet , low fat diet and daily Excercise.If still not controlled you need medicines. c Coming to effects of blood pressure i mean bad effects . It cause target organ damage like eyes , brain , heart , kidneys , blood vessels and lungs.Nay if these organs may involve if you don't control your High BP.
Regards
