The causes of high blood pressure depend upon its type. There are two types of high blood pressure:
Primary hypertension – This type of hypertension develops gradually over time and does not have an exact cause
Secondary hypertension – This type of hypertension is caused by an underlying condition. Unlike primary hypertension, this type appears almost immediately and can be more problematic. Common conditions leading to secondary hypertension include obstructive sleep apnea, kidney disease, thyroid, congenital blood vessel defects and the use of certain medications.
Hypertension can affect any individual at any age. However, some people are more prone to developing this condition than others. The common risk factors for people include:
Since high blood pressure is usually asymptomatic, it is essential for high-risk patients to seek a routine assessment. This condition can be diagnosed with the help of blood pressure measurements and other lab tests.
Hypertension is treated with a combination of medicinal treatment and lifestyle modifications. It is a chronic condition and requires long-term treatment so that normal blood pressure levels can be maintained in patients.
If you suffer from hypertension, you should eat healthy foods, limit your salt intake, maintain a healthy weight and avoid smoking.
Blood pressure is considered normal if it’s below 120/80 mm Hg.
Common complications include heart attack, heart failure, narrowed blood vessels in the eyes and trouble with memory and concentration.
