Patient's question:
Doctor, my mother is 67 years old. Recently, my mother's health condition hasn't been very good. I took her to the hospital for some thorough examinations, and it was found that she has high blood pressure. I would like to ask, is high blood pressure caused by blocked blood vessels?Doctor's answer:
High blood pressure is very harmful to human health. If it persists for a long time, it can easily cause damage to organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys. Vessel blockage is usually caused by factors such as blood viscosity, vessel narrowing, and atherosclerosis. High blood pressure is generally related to hereditary factors from previous generations, high pressure, and interference from vascular diseases. There is a certain connection and interference between the two, but it is not the main interfering factor.
