Patient's question:
Recently, my father's business hasn't been going well, and he's under a lot of stress. He often feels dizzy and doesn't get much relief from rest. After a thorough examination, the report indicated primary hypertension. I'd like to understand what primary hypertension is.Doctor's answer:
For patients with high blood pressure, the most important thing is to always maintain emotional stability and not to be overly anxious. Primary hypertension refers to high blood pressure where the cause of blood pressure decline is unclear. Before diagnosing primary hypertension, it is essential to rule out secondary hypertension, which is high blood pressure caused by various diseases. Currently, it is generally believed that primary hypertension may have a generational inheritance pattern, or it may be caused by factors such as postnatal psychological stress.
