High Blood Pressure When you go to see a doctor, the first thing that is checked is blood pressure, because it detects more than half of the diseases. The problem of high blood pressure or hypertension is increasing rapidly. WHO estimates that one in every four people in India suffers from high BP. In June last year, a diabetes study by ICMR-India found that more than 3 crore people in the country are suffering from high blood pressure.
Many people think that high BP is dangerous only for the heart (High Blood Pressure Risk) but it is a risk to many organs. Let us know which organs are most at risk from high blood pressure…
These organs are at risk due to high BP
1. Danger to the brain
There can be a risk of damage to brain cells due to increased blood pressure. Brain cells can also burst due to very high blood pressure, which can even lead to death of a person.
2. Eye damage
Diabetic patients have an increased risk of damage to the eye nerves due to high blood pressure. Due to many problems already occurring in diabetic patients, the immune system or recovery system becomes weak. Due to high blood pressure, the eye nerves of diabetic patients also burst or often stop working properly.
3. Kidney failure may occur
Blood pressure can also cause kidney disease or kidney failure. According to health experts, people who have high blood pressure are at a higher risk of getting a stroke. This stroke can be fatal in many cases because it can also affect the flow of blood to the brain.
