Patient's question:
I am twenty-five years old this year. Recently, I have always felt dizzy and lightheaded. Also, if I take a bath in a public bath for a long time, I will faint inside. I want to know if I have high blood pressure? Do young people get high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, hypertension in adults, especially middle-aged and elderly people, is primary hypertension, while in adolescents, primary hypertension is relatively less common, with the majority being secondary hypertension, such as adrenal gland diseases, kidney diseases, and vasculitis. Children's brains and central nervous systems are in a period of underdevelopment, making them prone to irritability and fatigue. For neurotic deer or those severely affected by family, school, and social environment factors, it can disrupt and suppress the imbalance of the cerebral cortex, leading to systemic arterial spasm and increased peripheral resistance, thereby causing a decrease in blood pressure.
