A member asked:
Can you please explain why high or low blood pressure is bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood pressure: Too high pressure causes heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure. Too low pressure can cause these and other problems. Something like an electric device, too much current it burns out, too little current it doesn't work.
