Cholesterol plaque and calcium cause your arteries to become hard and narrow. Hence, its puts strain in the walls to pump blood through them. As a result, your blood pressure becomes too high. High blood pressure and high cholesterol are two of the biggest causes of heart disease

Dr. Kamran Suggests...

Take a HIV 1 AND 2 ANTIBODIES Test or Take a Nk Cell Panel - CD3, CD16 / CD56 Test
