High blood pressure (HBP) is a serious condition that can lead to coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, and other health problems.
"Blood pressure" is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood. If this pressure rises and stays high over time, it can damage the body in many ways.
Causes of High Blood Pressure
In about 10% of people, high blood pressure is caused by another disease (this is called secondary hypertension). In such cases, when the root cause is treated, blood pressure usually returns to normal. These causes of secondary hypertension include the following conditions:
1. Chronic kidney disease
2. Tumors or other diseases of the adrenal gland
3. Pregnancy
4. Use of birth control pills
5. Alcohol addiction
6. Thyroid dysfunction
Prevention of High Blood Pressure
