A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lots: High blood pressure- hypertension is called the silent killer for a reason. It can cause many microvascular changes in the brain and can cause strokes, brain hemorrhages, or damage to the structure of the brain. So, keep that hypertension under control at all costs!
