Hypertension is hereditary in the family?

Patient's question:

Is high blood pressure inherited across generations? Because my grandfather and father both have high blood pressure and have been taking medication to control it. I'm also very worried about getting this disease in the future.

According to your description of the situation, you should pay attention to the following points to prevent high blood pressure: First, regular deep sleep and avoid staying up late.
