WHAT DO YOU GET IF HYPERTENSION IS UNTREATED?

      STROKE- your artery in the brain gets blocked or ruptures from very high blood pressure.
      BLINDNESS- the changes in the artery of the brain also holds true for the arteries in the eyes.
                       They can also get blocked or ruptured if blood pressure is not controlled for a long
                       period of time.
      HEART ATTACK- can occur if the blood vessels in the heart get blocked. The heart muscles
                      "starves" of oxygen leading to death of heart muscles.
      HEART FAILURE - the heart gets tired of pumping because of the high blood pressure. It has
                      to counteract this high pressure to be able to pump blood out to the body.
       KIDNEY FAILURE- the small blood vessels in the kidney get blocked resulting to ineffective
                      filtering of the blood by the kidneys. Kidney failure leads to poisoning of the whole
                      body from undisposed waste body products.
