Effect of sustained high G enviroments on the human body?

Tau Ceti e is possibly a good candidate for colonisation as it has a yellow dwarf sun like earth. But it's mass is estimated as >4.30 ± 2.1 of earth. (See Wiki) I remember from a documentary that the people building the foundations for the Manhattan bridge suffered delirium and bleeding from ears an nose due to being subjected to high atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure aside, I'm wondering if there are more symptoms associated with high gravity alone. The problem I am having with this research is that when Googling it, all the hits are related to Fighter jet piolets who are subjected to high G's for a few seconds during a manoeuvre. I'm wondering about exposure for hours, days or even years.

I'm imagining that the colonists would have high tech exosuits that provide extra strength and support by actively following the wearers movements, as well as extra external pressure like the G-suits that todays fighter piolets wear. Use of these suits may also cause side effects.

Besides symptoms and diseases caused by high G's, I also wondering if there are earth diseases that are cured by high G's.
