Specializes in Internal Medicine

No specific duration: There is no specific duration for BP to cause problems but it depends on multiple factors including but not limited to control of bp, its duration, other medical problems like over weight, diabetes or family history of heart problems or stroke. If you have any of those things you should be careful and have better control of bp.
