About Hypertension? There is an exit!

Hypertension, also known simply as "high blood pressure" is very common, however can lead to many significant complications if left uncontrolled. When the blood pressure is elevated, the force the blood puts on the walls of the arteries is high and can lead to artery damage. Also, when the heart muscle has to pump blood against a high blood pressure, it thickens and enlarges, just like any muscle does when it has to do more work (think of a weight lifter).

Hypertension develops slowly over the years and frequently does not cause any symptoms until something severe happens such as a heart attack, stroke or heart failure. Fortunately, hypertension is easily diagnosed and treated to help prevent this from happening.

Why do I have hypertension?
Most commonly, hypertension is something that simply happens with age. In fact, more than half of people over the age of 60 have hypertension. Besides age, there are quite a few factors that can increase the blood pressure causing hypertension to develop early.

Blood pressure is controlled by many different systems in your body including your heart, arteries, veins, kidneys and brain. In any given person there is usually more than one system overactive contributing to increasing the blood pressure causing hypertension. When medication is needed to lower blood pressure, it frequently takes more than 1 medicine to lower blood pressure for this reason.

We categorize hypertension as either primary (essential) or secondary. Most people have primary hypertension related to age and genetic factors. No specific cause is found. Some people may have secondary hypertension or high blood pressure caused by some other factor. Below are the most common causes of secondary hypertension.
