Is there a case for highblood pressure secondary to venous insufficiency

Hello Herschel,

High blood pressure and venous insufficiency may be found in people as they age, but the venous insufficiency does not necessarily lead to the high blood pressure. If you have questions about the symptoms you are experiencing, we suggest you consult your physician.

Thanks,
