What causes high blood pressure? What causes high blood pressure

There are many factors for high blood pressure.

The first factor is genetic factors, hypertension has obvious familial aggregation, both parents have hypertension, the incidence of children can reach 46%, about 60% of hypertensive patients, there is a family cluster, that is to say, there is a family history.

Second, environmental factors. The first aspect is diet, blood pressure levels and the prevalence of hypertension in different regions are significantly positively correlated with the average intake of that year, but in the same region, blood pressure levels and salt intake are not correlated between individuals, and excessive salt intake can lead to an increase in blood pressure, mostly in view of salt-sensitive people. Second, mental stress.

The incidence of hypertension in urban mental workers is higher than that of manual workers, and those in occupations with high mental stress are more likely to develop hypertension. Third, smoking can release sympathetic nerve endings, increase norepinephrine and increase blood pressure, and at the same time, it can cause blood pressure to rise through oxidative stress and damage to nitrogen oxide-mediated vasodilation.

Thirdly, other factors, weight factors. Weight gain is an important risk factor for elevated blood pressure, and it has been found that hypertension is closely related to obesity. Taking birth control pills can cause an increase in blood pressure.

Other medications including ephedrine, adrenocorticosteroids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and licorice can also cause an increase in blood pressure. Third, sleep apnea syndrome, due to long-term hypoxia, can also cause an increase in blood pressure.

One of the reasons: Some people suffer from high blood pressure, mainly due to bad habits in daily life, such as drinking, smoking, less exercise, how long to sit, and a high-salt diet.

Reason 2: Genetics, ethnicity, obesity, high-fat, high-sodium diet, mental stress, and anxiety may play a role in the occurrence of essential hypertension.

Reason 3: The remaining 5%-10% of people with high blood pressure have high blood pressure related to a certain disease, which is called secondary hypertension. These conditions that can cause high blood pressure include:

Renal parenchymal disease, renal vascular disease, pheochromocytoma, Cushing's syndrome, primary aldosteronism, coarctation of the aorta, etc.

High blood pressure is mainly caused by the following factors: too much salt and too strong taste; Smoking; Binge drinking; obesity; lack of exercise; Nervous and stressful; Genetics, etc.

There are many factors that can cause high blood pressure, and regular consumption of foods high in salt can lead to high blood pressure. It has a familial hereditary and emotional stress fluctuations can also lead to hypertension, which is caused by a combination of factors.

Hypertension or elevated blood pressure is an artificially determined value, and this value is constantly changing with the perception of the risk of elevated blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. Died in 1999.

Causes of high blood pressure: imitation of the waiter.

1. Genetic factors: If your family has high blood pressure, be careful, the chance of getting high blood pressure is higher than that of the general population, and it is recommended to monitor blood pressure regularly after the age of 40;

2. Environmental factors: It is related to diet, people with high salt are prone to high blood pressure, and patients with low potassium or calcium are prone to high blood pressure, the most important thing is high salt diet;

3. Obesity: Obese patients are more likely to get high blood pressure than the general population;

4. Mental stress: urban mental workers are more likely to get high blood pressure than manual workers, and people who are engaged in work with greater mental pressure and people with a more impatient temper type A personality are more likely to get high blood pressure;

5. Smoking: Smoking is easy to cause vasospasm and atherosclerosis, and the probability of hypertension is much higher;

6. Drinking: The chance of high blood pressure from drinking alcohol is also higher;

7. Snoring: If you snore frequently, you should go to the hospital for breathing and sleep monitoring to see if there is apnea syndrome, and if so, you need to be in time, because sleep apnea syndrome is also easy to induce hypertension. There are many causes of high blood pressure, and the common causes are as follows:

1. Heredity: The congenital gene carries the hypertensive-causing hormone, and the age of onset is basically the same as that of hypertensive patients at home, but with the acceleration of the pace of life and the increase of work pressure, the age of hypertension in some patients is advanced;

2. Lifestyle: Some patients develop hypertension after large mood swings, and some patients have hypertension caused by long-term high-salt diet;

3. Secondary hypertension: such as renal artery stenosis, nephritis, primary hyperaldosteronism, chromaffin parvosmuliscular aneurysm, Takayasu's arteritis, etc., and some young patients have hypertension caused by this disease.

Many reasons, age, occupation and environment, family genetics, excessive salt, obesity, smoking are possible, you can consult a hypertension specialist in Nanjing Banshan Hospital for details.
