  4. Angina: Over time, high blood pressure can lead to heart disease or microvascular disease. Angina, or chest pain, is a common symptom. Peripheral artery disease (PAD):Atherosclerosis caused by high blood pressure can cause a narrowing of arteries in the legs, arms, stomach and head, causing pain or fatigue. Apart from these conditions, chronic or long term hypertension or high blood pressure damages your blood vessels, and LDL cholesterol begins to accumulate along the tears in your artery walls.
