Body Weight and High Blood Pressure Relationships
Last month, I visited my doctor(Cardiologist), who has been monitoring my heart for the last 10 years. She noticed that I am gaining additional weight and told me to just stay that way.
Additional weight can cause a possible High Blood Pressure because every additional weight you put into your body, your heart exerts more effort to transport the blood in every part of your body.
Thus, I wonder about the blood pressure of some of my officemates who weigh around twice or even 5 times my weight.
Here is what I noticed and my observation as well. I have friends from different fields of works but consistently, those who work on a graveyard shift and who sit the whole day are obese. They have weight problems.
