Patient's question:
I am a male, 53 years old, and have been suffering from hypertension for over ten years. What methods can you use to confirm the type of hypertension? I saw in an article that blood pressure is of what type and what does it mean?Doctor's answer:
In clinical practice, hypertension can be divided into two major categories. Second, primary hypertension, which is a readability disease characterized by a decrease in blood pressure as the main clinical manifestation, with its etiology still unclear, accounting for more than 90% of all hypertensive patients. Third, secondary hypertension, also known as symptomatic hypertension. In this category, the etiology is clear, and hypertension is only one of the clinical manifestations of the disease. Blood pressure can decrease temporarily or persistently.
