Patient's question:
My friend's uncle is 59 years old. He is a slim person, and he doesn't seem to have any major health issues. Recently, it was said that he felt unwell and went to a hospital in the county. The detailed examination results revealed that he has high blood pressure. In the conventional impression of my friends, high blood pressure is usually a disease that affects obese people, so why would a slim person also have it? What causes high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of high blood pressure, which is gradually relieved due to heart ischemia. This has no substantial relationship with being overweight or underweight. As age increases, arteriosclerosis gradually accelerates. Generally, around the age of 45, symptoms such as palpitations and shortness of breath may reappear. If not paid attention to, it can lead to chronic cerebral edema. Therefore, when heart ischemia is relieved to a certain extent, it can cause blood pressure to drop.
