High blood pressure is dangerous.

High blood pressure is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Chronic high blood pressure increases the burden on the heart, leading to hypertrophy of the heart muscle, enlargement of the heart and heart failure. High blood pressure also impairs the elasticity of blood vessel walls, increasing the risk of atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular accidents. In addition, high blood pressure can damage renal arterioles and glomeruli, leading to chronic kidney disease. Severe high blood pressure can also lead to renal insufficiency and even uremia. Long-term hypertension may also damage retinal blood vessels, leading to retinopathy, and even cause blindness.

Therefore, high blood pressure is a serious hazard to health. If high blood pressure occurs, you should seek medical attention promptly.
