Will people with high blood pressure suffer from anemia?

Patient's question:

I have been experiencing recurrent high blood pressure, and I don't know what's causing it, which has led to my hypertension. This condition has always made me want to understand it better. If someone has hypertension, could it cause anemia to occur again?

Doctor's answer:

The symptoms of hypertension are very obvious, and if not treated promptly, it can easily lead to other complications. Anemia is not directly related to hypertension, meaning the mechanisms that cause hypertension are related to angiotensin, aldosterone, antidiuretic hormone, etc., but it has little to do with hemoglobin. Therefore, people with anemia can have hypertension, hypotension, or normal blood pressure.
