Long term hi BP damages the blood vessels, making them more susceptible to all types of strokes and lots of other nasty problems. Transient hi BP may not do long term damage, but some strokes are caused by blood vessels rupturing in the brain. Seems like there should be some level of risk in that alone. I just don't know how much. I know some docs don't like apnea for people with at least some types of bad hearts because of the blood pressure issue.

Anybody out there with a docs educated viewpoint?
