Brain Damage
Another major organ in addition to the heart that is susceptible to injury from high blood pressure is the brain. It too needs a steady supply of blood for proper functioning but hypertension tends to undermine the brain by reducing the blood flow and encouraging the forming of blood clots that can cause a stroke, resulting in problems ranging from impaired speech, memory loss and difficulty with normal body movement. Brain damage from hypertension can also lead to memory problems and even full-blown dementia.
Solution: If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with hypertension it is important to begin managing high blood pressure immediately. Being proactive and taking steps to reduce high blood pressure will help prevent negative side effects such as brain damage.
Kidney Damage
The kidneys are heavily dependent on adequate blood flow to function; therefore, any damage done by high blood pressure on blood vessels and the heart can also threaten the kidneys, making it difficult for them to properly filter the blood. Over time hypertension can contribute to kidney problems that may ultimately result in the need for dialysis or even a complete kidney transplant. All these problems become even more severe if they are further complicated by diabetes.
Solution: Work to manage your high blood pressure by lowering your stress, changing diet, and using proper supplements. Keeping your blood pressure regulated will reduce the risk of further damage to vital organs and help you live a healthier life.
Whether it is the heart, the circulatory system or the kidneys, all of these essential body organs can be seriously damaged by untreated hypertension. Therefore be sure to have your blood pressure checked regularly in order that hypertension can be quickly identified and treatment can begin early, before any serious damage is done. High blood pressure can be controlled as long as you are willing to make the changes to keep your body in its best condition.
