Poor Cardiovascular Health
One of the risk factors and potential causes of macular degeneration involves poor cardiovascular health. It’s often recommended for those with hypertension and similar problems to speak with their doctor to hopefully manage the condition with medication. Those who do not control their hypertension with medication are causing a much bigger problem for themselves as it opens up the potential for heart failure. As if that wasn’t enough, poor cardiovascular health is linked to macular degeneration. After all, wet macular degeneration is when weak blood vessels burst and leak in the macula.
As such, it’s a good idea to control one’s condition through medication and to keep it under control to avoid the potential for various health issues. Hypertension is no joke, as it is often seen as the silent killer. It would be a good idea to try for a more active lifestyle, but those with hypertension might be barred from strenuous exercise. It’s tricky, but a few lifestyle changes can eventually lead to success. All it takes is a little bit of hard work and consistency, and constant communication with your physician.
