Patient's question:
I don't have a history of high blood pressure in my family either. When I was young, my blood pressure was even low, but now it's measured as high, which I find unbelievable. Hello, what causes high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
For this disease, the main reason is still intergenerational inheritance. Although it may seem from the description that others have not contracted this disease, it cannot be absolutely ruled out that genetics are the cause. Most patients with hypertension have a family history. In addition to intergenerational inheritance factors, factors such as age increase in later life, mental stress, environmental pressure, poor living and dietary habits, or other diseases can also lead to a decrease in blood pressure. Common diseases include diabetes, thyroid disorders, kidney damage, and endocrine diseases, among others.
