4. Blood Pressure
Uncontrolled high blood pressure (HBP) can injure or kill you. It's sometimes called "the silent killer" because HBP has no symptoms, so you may not be aware that it's damaging your arteries, heart and other organs.
Possible health consequences that can happen over time when high blood pressure is left untreated include:
Damage to the heart and coronary arteries, including heart attack, heart disease, congestive heart failure, aortic dissection and atherosclerosis (fatty buildups in the arteries that cause them to harden)
Stroke
Kidney damage
Vision loss
Memory loss
Fluid in the lungs

Diastolic
The bottom number, which is also the lower number, measures the pressure in the arteries between heartbeats (when the heart muscle is resting between beats and refilling with blood).
