How fast does high blood pressure damage the brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on rate: If you have a sudden surge of pressure and a weakened artery in the bran it can have devastating results. If the pressure is elevated long term there are several mechanisms that occur to protect the brain. However anytime the diastolic BP is above 110 ( the lower #) the risk of stroke goes up
