The answer is A..the other answers have something in common about blood vessels being damaged and the heart working harder and getting weaker..I personally was on cholesterol medicine and my blood pressure was normal without medication..high blood pressure does make the heart work harder which is why your heart rate is usually high along with it, and it does eventually weaken the heart due to damaging the walls of the blood vessels which causes inadequate blood flow
