MARC 429 Posted April 3, 2019 The risk is higher, but if you do more research you will see that the increase in occurrence is not muck greater in a sample pool of 100,000 people. For example, since I had basal cell carcinoma once, my risk of re-occurence is more, but not statistically significant in overall risk. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The study indicated these increased risks (which are still not extremely high) in hypertensive patients who we're currently treating their hypertension. Do you have hypertension? Are you being treated for hypertension? Articles like this are fear mongering - typical of mainstream media. Take it with a grain (or five) of salt. Ultimately, you should consult with your doctor or cardiologist on such matters. Only they can truly tell you it this study holds water, as well as if it even applies to you.
