FAQs
Singer Toni Braxton discovered in 2004 that she had high blood pressureand pericarditis, an inflammation of the lining of the heart. Braxton's case proves that anyone can experience heart disease, even those who are young and otherwise healthy.
Even if you're a young adult, you aren't too young to be affected by high blood pressure. In fact, almost half of adults over the age of 20 have elevated or high blood pressure — even if they appear healthy. High blood pressure doesn't cause obvious symptoms, but that doesn't mean it should be ignored.
Although people over 65 years old are more at risk for high blood pressure, it also affects about 1 in 8 adults between 20 and 40 years of age.
With that being said, research³ does show that although you can live a long life, it may be five to seven years shorter than those without high blood pressure. Some potential causes⁴ of this shorter life expectancy include smoking and obesity.
