Obesity leads to a number of other health issues, and a common one is high blood pressure. This occurs when your heart has to use greater force than normal to pump blood around your body. This can lead to very serious consequences. Persistent high blood pressure increases your risk of heart attacks, stroke, and kidney damage.

The good news is that treating obesity treats high blood pressure. When their obesity is treated, around 75% of sufferers find their blood pressure comes back into the healthy range. Other important treatments include exercise, medication, a healthy diet, and quitting smoking.

If you struggle with obesity and high blood pressure, start the conversation with your doctor today to obtain the most effective weight loss treatment available, for a healthier, happier you.
