Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Blood pressure, for sure, is bad for health.
It is often silent
It affects the Brain, Heart, Kidney and Eyes (target organs) in the long term
It should be treated irrespective of the cause…
See an Internist / get yourself examined / at times, basic investigation may be necessary...
Good luck
Take care
Wishing all well
God bless
