Mostly ,high blood pressure have no

2,what causes high blood pressure?
For most people with hypertension ,no
single cause is know .We call
this type "essential "or "primary
"hypertension .However we do know that
over weight or obese persons or people who
have a high salt intake in their diet have
an increased chance of getting
hypertension .The primary hypertension can
not be cured ,but in most cases it can be
controlled .
In a few people ,hypertension is cause by
a known cause like chronic kidney disease
,adrenal gland tumor,narrow of kidney
arteries ,or pregnancy .Wa call this type
"secondary "hypertension "which can be
cured if its cause is found and corrected
. So when you find out your blood
pressure is high ,you shoud consult with
your doctor .
Other possible sources: hereditary ,
lifestyle and environment,stress
,depression......
