Hypertension and diabetes may seem allies, as they have many common causes. But it can become highly harmful to the patient suffering from the ailments.

People with diabetes have a higher risk of developing hypertension, and vice versa. Hypertension in a diabetic patient can often lead to cardiovascular diseases like heart attack and stroke. However, hypertension does not have any severe symptoms besides headache and dizziness.

The common symptoms of diabetes include excessive thirst, frequent urination, slow wound healing and extreme weakness. So, hypertension and diabetes can be prevented by avoiding smoking, poor sleeping habits and chronic stress. A sedentary lifestyle also causes these complications.
