@balanceyourbp_: Stroke victims who had high blood pressure often struggle with their recovery due to the damage high blood pressure caused to their arteries and brain, which can lead to poorer outcomes. High blood pressure can weaken arteries, making them prone to rupture (hemorrhagic stroke), or cause them to become clogged with fatty deposits (ischemic stroke). Fluctuating blood pressure after a stroke is also linked to a higher risk of death and poor recovery. #BalanceYourBP #highbloodpressure #HypertensionAwareness #BloodPressureAwareness
