Blood pressure: Yes and no. It is good to be concerned because high blood pressure can cause a lot of problems with your heart and blood vessels, but usually this takes many years if neglected. Also it may depend on how high the blood pressure is.

High blood pressure: if uncontrolled is a risk factor for heart disease. If you keep it well controlled the risk is minimal, Exercise, eat a well balanced diet, control blood sugar and cholesterol and don't smoke to reduce your heart risks,
