Causes of primary high blood pressure

The researchers were not able to understand the exact cause of primary hypertension, but instead studied and showed a link between primary hypertension and a number of risk factors such as: Genetics, age old age, diabetes and obesity,...

Primary high blood pressure, also known as essential hypertension, increases during pumping of blood compared to normal, causing increased pressure on the heart. The cause of primary hypertension is unknown. This disease accounts for up to 95% of all people with high blood pressure and is common in people aged 40 or 50 and older. The remaining 5% belong to secondary hypertension or high blood pressure with a cause.

The researchers could not understand the cause of primary hypertension, but instead studied and found a link between primary hypertension and a number of risk factors as follows:
Old age: As your body ages, blood vessels also lose their elasticity and lead to the risk of primary high blood pressure. According to the study, women 60 years of age and older have a higher risk of developing primary hypertension than men of the same age group. Heredity: Many people have the misconception that primary high blood pressure only occurs in adults, but in fact, the number of children with this disease is increasing day by day. The reason for the phenomenon of primary hypertension in young people is due to family history and genetic factors. Diabetes and obesity: Unhealthy lifestyles combined with an unbalanced diet and sedentary habits are increasing the number of people with diabetes and obesity. These two diseases are the main causes of high blood pressure in particular and high blood pressure in general. Consuming too much salt: The World Health Organization indicates that nearly one-third of cases of primary hypertension are closely related to excessive salt consumption. Salt increases water retention, which leads to increased blood pressure.

Primary hypertension is usually asymptomatic, even with high-grade hypertension. Usually, it is only when the patient goes to the doctor for a routine check-up that the disease is discovered.
Some cases of primary hypertension may appear signs such as:
Dull headache, dizziness. Chest tightness. Nosebleeds more than usual. Hematuria. Visual change.

To prevent primary hypertension from occurring, it is necessary to take the following measures:
Scientific nutrition, eat a lot of fruits, vegetables, low-fat foods, foods rich in potassium. Avoid using foods that contain a lot of fat, saturated fat, salt, sugar, fast food... to prevent high blood pressure. Reduce the amount of salt in the diet, maintain the sodium content to 1500mg/day to avoid high blood pressure. Maintain obesity-free status, based on BMI. Exercise, have a reasonable fitness regime. Exercise for at least 30 minutes every day. Do not use tobacco, alcohol regularly to reduce the risk of disease. Reduce stress in your life. If you're experiencing stress, relax, take practical measures to help reduce stress. Regularly monitor your blood pressure at home. If prescribed by a doctor, it is necessary to take the medicine regularly according to that prescription and visit the doctor when there are abnormal signs. Primary hypertension in particular or high blood pressure in general leaves serious cardiovascular complications such as cerebrovascular accident, heart failure, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction.
