Does every who has high blood-pressure if you are overweight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: I'm not completely sure of your question. High BP is more common with obesity, but by no means is everyone with obesity hypertensive, nor is everyone with high BP obese. Things that can be done to lower BP do include increasing exercise, weight loss, salt restriction, and correction of sleep apnea if present.
