My daughter is 2. When I was pregnant, i developed high bloodpressure. It never went away and sometimes it is very high. I am 22 years old. My doctor never perscribed me any pills to take. i have heard high blood pressure causes heart disease...will it always cause heart disease? does this happen very quickly? i have just started a diet where I am cutting out salt and trying to lose weight and eat healthy. if i get my bloodpressure under control, will my heart heal, or has too much damage been done? im scared :(

Your information is correct; high blood pressure does cause heart disease. The heart is working harder to supply your body with its blood demands. This extra work over time will cause heart problems. While it often causes heart disease, high blood pressure can easily be managed and lowered. You are already taking good steps to lowering your blood pressure. A reduced sodium diet will help, but also exercise is also very good for your heart. If these methods do not help lower your blood pressure, discuss medications for hypertension with your doctor. You are still very young, so there hasn't been a lot of time for you to do much damage. Many people have high blood pressure for 10-20 years before seeing heart problems. If you intervene now, you risk for heart failure should be dramatically decreased.
