Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable with my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Could you please explain what primary and secondary hypertension are?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you have described, you have developed high blood pressure in your 40s, and this condition has recurred. If it is primary hypertension, it is generally not associated with a clear and specific cause, and it is primarily considered related to generational genetic factors and lifestyle and dietary habits. If you have primary hypertension, it is necessary to have antihypertensive treatment, but it is also necessary to have improved examinations to rule out the possibility of secondary hypertension.
