A member asked:
If someone gets high blood pressure, are they stuck with it for life (like diabetes )? why does bp tend to increase with age ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
great question: BP does tend to increase with age. If i could answer why, there would be a nobel prize waiting for me! if you're overweight or salt your food, you may be able to reverse it by losing weight and avoiding salt. Otherwise, you'll need medicine. The good news: outcome studies show that when BP is well controlled, you lower your risk of heart failure, heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, and death.
