In addition to genetic factors, there are six main factors that cause hypertension to occur: 1. Genetic factors: both parents have hypertension, the probability of the onset of children up to 46%. Note that it is a genetic factor, not a genetic disease. Some patients will be misunderstood as genetic disease, genetic factors and genetic disease are two concepts. Therefore, friends whose parents have hypertension should be aware that you have a higher probability of hypertension than people whose parents do not have hypertension, but this is not unique, genetic factors are innate and unchangeable, other acquired factors can be changed. So some friends a family of several siblings, some have high blood pressure, some do not, and acquired factors related. 2, too much salt: about 60% of the population is sensitive to salt, such as excessive salt intake, blood pressure can rise. In the clinic often have a patient’s blood pressure can not come down, after controlling the intake of salt (less than 6 grams per person per day), the blood pressure came down. 3, smoking: smoking can make the blood vessel constriction, raise blood pressure. 4, alcohol abuse: blood pressure rises after drinking alcohol, which may be related to the nerve excitement caused by alcohol. I have observed clinically that some people’s blood pressure is temporarily lowered at the time of drinking, which may be related to vasodilation, but blood pressure will rise afterwards. Therefore, after many of my patients quit drinking, their blood pressure stabilizes at normal, and after drinking again, their blood pressure rises again. 5, lack of exercise: appropriate aerobic exercise can stretch the blood vessels and lower blood pressure. 6, obesity: fat people’s blood pressure is easy to rise. I have a lot of overweight patients, hypertension is very stubborn, with a lot of drugs blood pressure can not come down, exercise to reduce weight, blood pressure is normal. 7, mental stress: blood pressure is easy to rise, there are many patients rest and relaxation, blood pressure can get some improvement. Friends, you compare, you have a few of the above factors, in addition to genetic factors, other factors that cause hypertension can be improved ah, let us work together, cheer! I wish you all good health and happiness!
