African Americans are at a higher risk for high blood pressure. They also get it at a younger age, and suffer more of the complications. The problem is not limited to just adults. African-American preteens that are overweight may also develop high blood pressure.

High blood pressure can affect your health in major ways. It is a main risk factor for health problems that can cut your life short, such as:

Heart disease
Blood vessel disease
Kidney disease
Stroke
High blood pressure also causes many other problems including erectile dysfunction and vision loss. But high blood pressure can be controlled and possibly prevented. https://cardiohow.com
