Lap Band on High Blood Pressure

Another danger with weighing too much is dealing with high blood pressure.

High blood pressure takes place when tiny blood vessels are blocked or damaged. The blood vessels become stiff and narrow, and the blood is challenged to make its way through the tight space. This scenario in turn puts pressure on the walls of the tubes that are transporting it.

If high blood pressure is not treated properly, this pressure can lead to problems such as an enlarged heart, stroke, and kidney disease.

Studies have shown that being obese can lead to high blood pressure.
