Hi,keshafaye when someone has high BP,the heart and arteries have a much heavier workload.if high BP continues for a long time,the heart and arteries may no longer work and other organs such as kindeys,brain may also be affected. to the treatment of hign BP ,increased intake of fruites and vegetables,decreased salt intake,increased exercise and weight loss should be recommend. wish your mom a speedy recovery!

Hi sorry to her about your mom, I have high blood pressure as well, she should stay away from salt, stress,I don't know about her weight, doctors say you can reduce your pressure if you are under a certain weight, I know blood pressure is a scary thing,It can be managed, so with help from her doctors, no salt, no stress mom should be just fine.
