High blood pressure vs. low blood pressure: which is more dangerous?

Blood pressure is an important biological indicator for health. The ideal blood pressure level is usually around 120/80 mmHg. Therefore, blood pressure that is too high or too low can cause serious health consequences.

Low blood pressure causes dizziness, lightheadedness, and even fainting.

High blood pressure often has no obvious symptoms in the early stages. Therefore, many people with high blood pressure do not know they have the disease, according to the health website Verywell Health (USA).

Prolonged high blood pressure increases the pressure on the blood vessel walls, leading to damage to the blood vessel endothelium and increasing the risk of atherosclerosis. Long-term consequences can lead to serious health problems such as stroke, heart attack, heart failure or chronic kidney failure.

Meanwhile, low blood pressure is also not good. Low blood pressure is usually defined as blood pressure below 90/60 mmHg. If high blood pressure develops silently, low blood pressure will cause symptoms, even dangerous but rarely lasts chronically.

The heart is made up primarily of cardiac muscle. Cardiac muscle is a special type of muscle, different from skeletal and smooth muscle. Like any muscle, heart muscle needs exercise to stay strong.

Walking is an easy and safe form of exercise that is extremely effective in training the heart muscle. Not only does it help improve circulation and blood pressure, but regular walking also increases cardiovascular endurance and reduces the risk of chronic cardiovascular disease, according to the health website Healthline (USA).

Walking uphill is a better cardio workout than walking on flat terrain.
