A member asked:

Could you still have a stroke or heart attacke if your blood pressure is normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Other causes also: Besides high blood pressure, other factors in causing vascular problems are high blood fats(cholesterol), smoking , diabetes and overweight. If you are healthy in all these areas, then you have no concerns. But keeping your weight near normal with healthy diet and daily exercise are necessary to stay healthy.
