Kidney disease
When high blood pressure causes the kidneys not to work as well as they should, warning signs might include:
- Tiredness
- Swollen ankles, feet or hands
- Shortness of breath
- Feeling sick
- blood in your pee (urine).
High blood pressure, the NHS explains, put extra strain on the small blood vessels in the kidneys.
Eventually, over time, the blood vessels within the kidneys stop working properly.
Consequently, there is a one in 50 chance kidney disease can progress to kidney failure.
