Patient's question:
I am a patient with high blood pressure, and I have had it for several years. However, at my current age, I should never have high blood pressure. What are the causes of high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
The composition of hypertension is a very complex process, and its causes are also numerous. A small portion is genetic, but postnatal factors also play a role, such as a diet high in salt and fat, which can thicken the blood vessel walls. Then, the vessels become narrower, leading to increased pressure and resulting in hypertension. Of course, a small portion is secondary hypertension. You can go to local standard Grade 3-A or higher hospitals for examination and treatment.
