Why old people are more exposed for complication of high blood pressure?

i also know alot of elderly who ahve suffered from complications of hypertension. they are the ones who usually suffer becuas etheir bodies have become weaker and are unable to fight back. and also because some people seek medical help when they already feel sever pain or when they already have complications. When treating the elderly for hypertension, it is also necessary to consider the other medical conditions that they may have. Some of these conditions may make the patients more prone to side effects from the medications. However, modifying the goal of blood pressure reduction, as noted above, can help avoid the side effects. Therefore, it is recommended that these medications be started at low doses and increased slowly to avoid a too rapid or excessive lowering of blood pressure.Furthermore, it is important to measure the blood pressure in the elderly while they are standing in addition to while they are sitting or lying. You see, older patients may have a tendency to develop postural hypotension (excessively low blood pressure in the standing position). The postural hypotension can cause episodes of lightheadedness or falling. To remedy this situation, the doctor might recommend lower doses of anti-hypertensive medications. The goal would still be to decrease an elevated sitting or lying blood pressure but to a lesser degree to avoid an excessively low standing blood pressure (the postural hypotension).

Human body is made up of trillions of cells.Heart is the most important organ in our body its supply blood to all parts of the body. Blood carries oxygen and nutrients. Most of the older people get sick because of unhealthy eating habit,they gain weight and become obeys. So, Heart has to pump the blood to unwanted fat, becoming older the immunity goes down and may be the stress put them in to the hypertension (BP). If we give proper nutrients in the beginning at younger age they may not suffer at older age.
